Reasons for the decision

The Astley Day Centre repair works form part of the Council's Operational Property Review Programme, which was established to address the maintenance requirements across the Council's operational estate and ensure that Council services are delivered from safe, compliant and fit-for-purpose buildings.  Alongside the repair works, a programme of enhancement works is proposed to improve the functionality and suitability of the building for service users.  These enhancement works will be funded by Adult Services and will support the continued delivery of day services from the site.
