Report of the Interim General Manager – Alexandra Palace - To update the Board on the progress of 2011-12 Capital Projects, and advise on the proposed further 2012-13 Capital Bid to the Council.

The Board received the update on the progress of the 2011-12 Capital Projects and the proposed 2012-13 Capital Bid to the Council as laid out in pages 35 – 41 of the agenda pack, introduced by Andrew Gill (Interim General Manager, Alexandra Palace). 

The Board was advised that:

• Thames Water had contributed towards the cost of repairing the burst pipe in the lower fields of the Park.

• In relation to the listed building consent work (in paragraph 6.1.2 of the report) there was now a planning application in progress and that the Alexandra Palace & Park Conservation Area Advisory Committee (CAAC) had doubts about the proposals.  The Chief Executive, Alexandra Palace, stated that he was reviewing the proposals and would ensure dialogue with the CAAC.

• In response to concerns raised the Board was informed that the aim was to fix dilapidations permanently via capital spending and that any further funding such as from the Heritage Lottery fund would be assessed based on the community benefit of a project.

RESOLVED

i.                    That the progress on capital works completed during 2011-12 be noted; and

ii.         That the proposed bid to the LB Haringey  for further Capital funding for 2012-13 be endorsed.
