Decision details
Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Place & Wellbeing) & Deputy Chief Executive
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
As you will be aware, Clacton Leisure Centre
provides a large range of activities within the Sports Hall, as
part of these provisions a storage location is allocated behind
fire shutters within the Sports Hall to ensure the safe storage of
items such as gymnastics and trampolining equipment.
In a recent safety inspection, the shutter doors have been marked
as unsafe for use due to age and level of repair required. This has
meant that the shutter doors have been forced to be remained open
and fixed at their top point, substantially increasing the chances
of someone accessing this area and at risk of endangerment. Whilst
everything has been done at Centre level to reduce this risk it is
impossible to eliminate without the doors and should a fire break
out the area is exposed.
Within the 21st October 2024 Cabinet meeting - Cabinet Members'
Items - Report of the Corporate Finance
Decision:
To award, appointment and enter into a
contract under a PO arrangement for £8,006.46 excluding VAT
with The Pegasus Door Company in order to complete works to the
Sports Hall Fire Shutter Doors at Clacton Leisure Centre.
The Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Public Realm concurs with this
decision being made.
Alternative options considered:
Not to repair shutter doors have been forced
to be remained open and fixed at their top point, substantially
increasing the chances of someone accessing this area and at risk
of endangerment.
