DECISION: It is requested that this Procurement Plan be approved to proceed, to tender for a contractor to demolish the Police Station in Weston-super-Mare. REASONS: Introduction: The council purchased the Police Station and former Magistrates Court in Weston-super-Mare in March 2016 as part of the proposed regeneration of Weston Central. The acquisition of the former police headquarters and magistrates court is part of the regeneration area known as “Walliscote Grove”. The council are exploring future options for the site, as part of this regeneration, however there are benefits to the council to clear the site whilst this work is progressing: • Market attractiveness to developers through having a cleared site • Concurrent phasing of project to ensure timely delivery of regenerated site • Reduction in revenue cost for servicing a vacant building • Site security • Removal of materials, such as asbestos, to avoid future risk in a deteriorating building • It has been agreed that the council would utilise its formal tender process to identify a contractor to demolish the structures.
