Refurbishments to a Peterborough City Council owned building – KEY/17JAN20/01

The decision is to proceed with refurbishments to a PCC owned building; this building was previously Ofsted Registered as a Children’s Home providing Short Breaks/Respite to children and young people with disabilities and complex needs. The in-house provision was re-designated in November 2018. The premises will now be redeveloped to enable single occupancy residency for a child/young person.

This item has been added to the Forward Plan so we are able to proceed with the plans, if/when funding is received from NHSE. The procurement, and the works, need to progress as expediently as possible to allow transition of the child/young person into a residence which has been specifically designed to meet need.
