Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People, which sought approval for a classroom extension at Chesnut Lodge School, Widnes.

The Board was advised that Chesnut Lodge was a community special school which catered for pupils aged 2-16 years with complex physical and medical difficulties. It was reported that the School required a one classroom extension in order to create a more suitable learning environment to accommodate the growing numbers of pupils that required this type of education. The Board noted that it was proposed to fund the works from the Basic Needs Capital Fund, allowing the Council to continue to meet its requirements for enhanced learning environments through capital projects.

RESOLVED: That the use of Basic Need Capital Funding to build a classroom extension at Chesnut Lodge School, Widnes, be approved.
