Issue details

Provision of funding to upgrade fire alarm and door entry system to the Council Office building

Decision type: Key

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 10/12/2018

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
To approve an amendment to the 2018/19 approved budget for the prompt replacement of the door entry and fire alarm systems to the Council Office building.

Following a power cut to the building on 27 November 2018 issues were identified with the door entry system which required us to reassess the proposed timetable for installation of the systems, and bring the date forward to be as soon as possible. The issue related to the default “locked” position of the doors, which could prevent effective checking of the building during an evacuation in the event of another power failure.

Anticipated restriction: Public  -

Decision due: 11 Dec 2018 by Cabinet
