Relocation of Phab and Disability Challengers to NESCOT

 

 

23/08/2013 - Relocation of Phab and Disability Challengers from Lintons Youth Centre to the North East Surrey College of Technology (Nescot) Epsom

In accordance with 4.08 of the Council's Constitution, and after consultation with the following:

 

Peter Martin, the Deputy Leader acting as Leader (David Hodge is on leave from 12th August until 27th August 2013)

Eber Kington, the Epsom & Ewell Local Committee Chairman

Allan Wells, on behalf of the Monitoring Officer

 

the Chief Executive,  David McNulty agrees that the Agreement for Works can be enacted with just Nescot and Disability Challengers so that work can commence on site at Nescot as soon as possible.  This will ensure that Disability Challengers can be relocated from Lintons to Nescot by the end of the year and it also allows time for Nescot and Phab to reach an agreement on the Licence without holding up the necessary refurbishment works.

 

In making this decision he has taken account of the public sector equality duty under the Equality Act 2010 given the need to seek to ensure continuity of provision for individuals with disabilities, including children.
