Decision details

To proceed with the agreed additional funding (£155,000) approved through the Capital Bidding process in order to meet the shortfall in the RAMM Ventilation and Access Scheme.

To avoid losing committee external grant funding and by securing this, cover expenditure already made. The decision also prevents reputational damage for Exeter City Council – with implications beyond the project.

Not proceeding – but would involve finding funds for £65,000 of expenditure already made plus potentially a further £25,000 for abortive costs that the Museum Development Appeal Trust as a charity may not be able to cover.
