Update Harold Mason Centre
/in News /by ClerkBurton Latimer Town Council met with North Northants Council last night. The meeting was a positive one and all of our questions that we had were received well.
As a result of the meeting, we will be liaising with North Northants council over the next few days to exchange information between each other.
We continue to work with outside agencies to receive the advice that council requires for consideration to achieve a resolution.
Press Release Statement
/in News /by ClerkIt was with deep regret that Burton Latimer Town Council made the decision to close the Harold Mason Centre to the public and its tenants and would assure residents it was done purely for reasons of health and safety. Following a concerning “moderate” fire safety report, which to be clear means “foreseeable risk of injury”, we were informed by our insurance company that our cover would be invalid until the identified actions were remedied. We made enquiries to see if anything could be done to mitigate the issues or if rectification could be immediate, but the initial quotes were significant, and the work would take time; therefore, the difficult decision had to be taken to protect our staff and users.
We are aware of the value to the town of the two businesses that reside in the Harold Mason Centre and have been doing everything we can to facilitate access as soon as it is safe to do so.
The town council will continue to investigate possible solutions to this situation with all available agencies but if anyone has any potential sources of information or support please contact us at Townclerk@Burtonlatimertowncouncil.org.uk
