The Future
| The Council was very disappointed to be told in September 2011 that, due to Government cuts to housing budgets, the Mayor of London and the GLA are unable to grant the promised £5.47m to restore Broomfield House. The current scheme is, therefore, stalled at RIBA Stage D. Click here to see this report. The Council had commissioned a RIBA Stage A report to see what alternatives were viable.

The net result was to agree that the only way forward was to create a package of funding which would include support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A meeting is now scheduled with the HLF for mid November to discuss the possibility of a bid for the funding for the heritage component and to align it with a development partner for the remaining aspects. |
