Following the successful application for Arts Council England partnership funding, the MEND scheme for Leeds Industrial Museum has been developed and is due for construction starting early September 2024. The works have been designed to work in conjunction with the newly completed Flood Alleviation Scheme that completes Mid-August 2024.
The works will see the construction of a new Locomotive storage shed as well as a series of other maintenance repairs including doors, windows, stonework repair and electrical improvements.
Additional works have also been included such as the removal and replacement of a large Asbestos roof, which will be funded via CPM as this will provide best value for money in reducing procurement costs.
The decision maker has approved the recommendations set out in the report attached with effect from the decision date.
