Roof Incident (Update) – 16 March 2018

I have been in regular communication with the local councillors with respect to getting a full independent survey of the school done. This is the latest information this morning that I received from Councillor Scott Arthur and Councillor Jason Rust. The following is good progress.

1 and 2 will be independent but appointed by the Council and overseen by Estates’ professional staff. No 3 will be Council’s corporate H&S unit.
 
I have gone back to request that we get informed who the company for 1 & 2 will be once they know.

“Confirmation received as follows from the Head of Estates:

Further to the events of yesterday and correspondence from members, I can confirm that the following actions have been instructed by the Council.

  1. 1. Full tactile survey of the roof – this will be carried out by building surveyors via steeple jack who will video the inspection and also provide a written report.

2. Full condition survey (including tactile and intrusive where possible) of the entire school.

3. Full H&S Audit.

No. 1 will commence once we have suitable weather conditions. No. 3 will commence this morning.   No 2 will commence asap (I will advise later this morning)”
