Heating Renewal in centre<br />
Bennett Court CC is currently well utilised,<br />
particularly for asuccessful children’s nursery.<br />
However, it is in a poor state due to years of<br />
neglect to the external decoration. The decoration<br />
of the external fabric of the building would be<br />
relatively inexpensive but provide a better looking<br />
facility which could lead to increased usage.<br />
The current heating system in place is the original<br />
heating system and covers two main areas of the<br />
centre when a speratate system for each area is<br />
needed.<br />
