Purpose

To consider the overall scheme budget for
Howley Walk, Batley to be increased to £2,460,212 and a JCT
(2016) D&B contract for the sum of £882,984.10 to be let
to Ellison Construction Limited.
 
Officers have kept the Secretary of the
Tenants & Residents Association informed of progress regarding
completion of the building work and have responded to issues as
they are raised.  Officers met with the
Chair and Secretary of the Tenants & Residents Association in
July 2023 to explain why the construction work had not yet been
completed.  Following this meeting a
letter was sent to members, residents in Howley Walk and those
adjacent to the site to reassure them that the Council did not
intend to abandon the development. A further email update was
provided to the Chair and Secretary on 11 March.
 
Consultation was carried out
with residents and members prior to the original scheme being
approved in 2020.  No further
consultation has been undertaken as proposals have not
changed.
