World Heritage Centre ¬is now complete with the building in

to the old Victorian spa buildings. The majority of the overspend
was funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund and
donations

Decision

To fully approve £62K funded by
£15k National Heritage Lottery Fund grant and £47k from
the provisional budget for Heritage Services Infrastructure
Development.
