The portfolio holder approves a supplementary capital budget of £207,596 in respect of Capital Repairs at Toneworks, Wellington, and accepts funding of £185,596 from Historic England plus allocated £22,000 from New Homes Bonus Earmarked Reserve to fund the budget increase.
Following the successful delivery of Phases 1 and 2 repair at Toneworks with external funding from DCMS, Historic England has offered a further £185,596 following a formal application for funds by SWT.
