Meeting – 27 May 2009

P. 5 -  Public Question - Mr Austin, George Town: Concerning the municipal hall development, car park and flower beds which aren't completed, how soon will this take, and to what extra cost?

The Mayor acknowledged that there were areas still to be completed.

The General Manager (Interim) stated that the car park area to the North of the Hall is complete however the road is yet to be constructed. The road has been left for the present time in anticipation of the commencement of the new LINC community building, the position of this centre has not yet been determined, however it is anticipated that it may be on either side of the hall, thus it was not appropriate to complete the areas surrounding the hall until the situation concerning the location of the new centre has been finalized.

 

WE ASK AGAIN - WHAT HAPPENS TO THE 120 EXTRA PARKING BAYS REQUIRED BY THE HALL EXTENSIONS?

 

In particular, the 48 that were planned to be on the site of the LINC Hub?
