Reasons for the decision

 

Cabinet made the decision in order to provide sufficient accommodation to meet demand for places and meet the legal requirement to admit pupils up to each school’s published admission number.

 

The proposed projects were part of a programme of works designed to provide improved life chances for Hillingdon’s young children and their families and the Council has a target to develop these 6 Children’s Centres by March 2010. 

 

Alternative options considered

 

Cabinet could have not accepted any tender, in which case the project would not have been able to proceed.

 

Officers to action:

 

Michael Kinsella, Deputy Chief Executive’s Office
