Nearly £700k set aside to complete revamps of ‘Muni’ theatre and Market Hall

Pendle Council cash has set aside up to £699,000 to complete the revamps of Colne’s ‘Muni’ theatre and Market Hall.

Additional re-roofing work and replacement of obsolete electrics has also had to be carried out. In addition, no fire-risk assessment had been done out before work began, requiring extra fire safety work. Thursday’s meeting had to decide between stumping up extra cash for work, drawing a line under the scheme leaving it unfinished, or taking funding from Colne’s Market Hall project.

“There was inadequate consideration of what the true costs of these projects would be. We now find the Muni is costing half-a-million more than planned. With a condition survey before bidding, it would have been possible to anticipate these increased costs. “If we hadn’t been constrained by the ridiculously low bid in the first place, the whole of these schemes could have been properly budgeted for.
