Costs of running the<br />
building<br />
These are currently met by BCC Estate Management<br />
or through the Housing Revenue Account (Rent<br />
Income)<br />
Maintenance/condition of<br />
building<br />
Maintenance is carried out by the Repairs Team of<br />
BCC Estate Management and work is ordered by the<br />
caretaking teams<br />
Maintenance is carried out on request unless there is<br />
a scheduled refurbishment of a block and then rooms<br />
will be redecorated in accordance with the new<br />
design.<br />
No major repairs are required but some of the<br />
furniture is aging, worn or broken and needs<br />
replacing. Any help to acquire new tables and chairs<br />
would be welcomed.<br />
What’s working well, or not<br />
so well?<br />
Good relationship between caretakers and tenants.<br />
Rooms can sometimes be abused and noise<br />
nuisance reported, but overall, users are considerate<br />
and responsible.<br />
Increased use of the rooms would be welcomed as<br />
they are underused.<br />
Young people need somewhere to hang out.<br />
Future plans and ideas • There are no plans to convert the community<br />
rooms into accommodation (except the former<br />
doctors surgery in Canynge House). There is a<br />
keenness to increase the usage of all the rooms.<br />
• The room that once hosted the community library<br />
(Broughton House) may be converted into office<br />
space for the Caretaking Team.<br />
