Rose Garden Cafe Restoration Latest!

From the Partnership meeting of 15th November 2024

Chris Hill from Wainwrights, the architect for the project, attended our meeting and reported that cost consultants and structural and civil engineers have now been appointed for the project.

He presented to us his initial RIBA stage 1design plans for the exterior of the building and four options for the internal layout of the seating, kitchen, servery, hire & play space and access points into the cafe, which we discussed and gave feedback to Chris.

Our next steps are to seek further advice from an expert on the flow, purpose and use of the interior layout. Chris was thanked for all his work thus far. We also discussed the feedback we had from the Heritage Lottery Fund and we will be responding to the points they have raised.

We will be presenting an update on our work to the Local Area Committee on Tuesday 3rd Dec and to the Charity Trust Sub-committee on 21st January.

Our next meeting is Friday December 20th.
