Hastings Borough Council – Property Portfolio Appendix 1 Renewal of Minor Works Maintenance Contract Cabinet 12th July 2010 Hastings Borough Council – Property Portfolio Background 1. The Council owns, operates and lets out a considerable amount of property assets and associated grounds and external areas with a rebuilding cost value exceeding £88 million. The Council's property assets are very diverse and widely spread across the Borough, they are of widely differing sizes and building types, some of which are very aged, and which reflect the materials and methods of construction prevailing at the time they were built. Almost none has been newly constructed and very little of it has been built in recent years or refurbished to current standards. Consequently there is a continual requirement for planned, cyclical and responsive building maintenance works. 2. The pressure on the Council’s built assets to be adapted and upgraded to meet the demands of a rapidly developing organisation is constant, and often requires rapid access to a flexible multi-trade building maintenance contractor. Offices & Operational Buildings 3. Major operational buildings within which the Council’s staff perform their duties and provide services to the public include: Town Hall & Tourism Information Centre Aquila House Renaissance House 6 Bank Buildings Bulverhythe Depot Offices Cemetery & Crematorium Corporate Archive, Castleham Industrial Estate Cultural & Leisure Buildings 4. The main cultural and leisure buildings and assets either operated directly or by third parties on behalf of the Council include: Hastings Castle The White Rock Theatre St Mary in the Castle Arts Centre Summerfields Sports Centre Falaise Hall Fitness Centre C:\Hastings\Data\Committ\IntranetOLD\Cabinet\20100712\Agenda\$k4qx4gxs.doc John’s Place Museum Old Town Museum Fishermen’s Museum Falaise Road Indoor Bowls Centre St Clements Caves Marina Pavilion (Azur) Parks & Open Spaces 5. Major parks and open spaces within which will be included a large number of buildings and assets such as depots, cafes, pavilions, ranger offices, club houses, bridges, railings, gates, bowls greens and changing rooms include the following: Alexandra Park & Depot Hastings Country Park Amherst Gardens Gensing Gardens West Marina Gardens Bexhill Road Recreation Ground East Hill Sports Pavilion Linton Gardens Pilot Field, Elphinstone Road The Firs, Elphinstone Road Harrow Lane Recreation Ground Sandhurst Recreation Ground White Rock Gardens Allotments (various sites) Foreshore Structures & Facilities 6.

The above list is not exhaustive, a small number of further building assets exist which are either owned by or for which the Council has some responsibilities for building maintenance, for example Tackleway Wall, various church paths and the communal parts of Philip Cole Close. The Council is also the ground landlord of several significant sites, and whilst it is not directly responsible for the structures thereon, there could be occasions where a building contractor’s assistance would be required in connection with these sites. 11. The Council also has responsibilities in the first instance to shore up and make safe buildings or structures in the event of emergencies such as fires floods, etc. and which requires the services of a building contractor. ________________________________________________________________ June 2010/MJC C:\Hastings\Data\Committ\IntranetOLD\Cabinet\20100712\Agenda\$k4qx4gxs.doc .
