Blueschool House - It is not all over!

[Aylestone Voice]

"Localised remodelling of office accommodation"

Whatever that means?

[H.Wilson]

More of our money being wasted!

Dear, oh dear. No surprise at the contractor either. It appears that £303k is being pulled from capital investments in schools to 'corporate asset review projects' These are;
a) Blueschool House Proposal to reconfigure internal layout and update facilities
b) Three Elms Proposal to reconfigure two units at Three Elms with regards to internal layout
c) No 8 and Town Hall Proposal to reconfigure internal layout and update facilities

Will councillors be asking where the £1m overspend disappeared to before voting on this?

These firms especially the ones who know they will get the contracts must think of a number, double it and then  stick a 'lets rob the bstrds' £50,000 bonus on top

We're seeing the consequences of a lack of investment in schools (and other public buildings) in the news at the moment. Pulling money away from them for questionable update of facilities which saw £1.92m spent on the building just 6 years ago seems, at best, foolish. It also warrants close questioning of those in Plough Lane commissioning such works (and indeed how they awarded the contracts).
