UPGRADES TO BUILDINGS (HEALTH AND SAFETY BUILDING WORKS) TO ALLOW PUBLIC ACCESS FOR EVENTS

THE MUSEUM WOULD LIKE TO USE THE LONGSHOP (A GRADE 2* LISTED BUILDIING) AND OTHER BUILDINGS FOR PUBLIC EVENTS.THIS HAS REQUIRED A HEALTH AND SAFETY INSPECTION AND INSURANCE SURVEYORS VISITS TO THE MUSEUM. SUBSEQUENTLY THEY RECOMMENDED A LIST OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO PARTS OF THE BUILDINGS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC WHEN VISITING OR USING THIS SPACE FOR EVENTS. THEY REQUEST THAT THESE UPGRADES SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.
THIS UPGRADING OF OUR PROVISION HAD NOT BEEN ANTICIPATED WHEN BUDGETS WERE SET AND THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS FUNDS WHICH COULD BE DIVERTED TO THIS PROJECT.
