preservation work required for the Kettering Library Roof and
associated work relating to the roof of the Art

Council's Constitution to approve all borrowing
requests.
 
 
Reasons for
Recommendations: These are set out in greater detail within section
5 of the report, but can be summarised as:
 
·       
To meet corporate plan objectives, specifically
“active, fulfilled lives”.
·       
To enable the Council to continue to deliver its
library functions within Kettering town centre.
 
Alternative Options
Considered:
 

·       
Schemes in this report
which are grant funded are in accordance with the requirements of
the grant conditions so there is no alternative option proposed in
this report. 

 

·       
Where individual schemes are over
£0.5m, separate reports are included elsewhere on this agenda
which set out the wider options that were considered before
reaching the proposals put forward.
