There is no summary of this meeting yet. Summaries are written once the council publishes the minutes, which are its official record of what a meeting decided. They usually appear a few weeks after the meeting.
Response by the Cabinet Member: 1. We will further discuss the reasons for the unplanned and unexpected delay with the Property team and other services, as part of the ongoing works, and collectively learn from issues that arose and reasons that caused the delay. The library has now reopened (on 6 January) in the Y Lanfa cottages on the Canal Yard in Welshpool. We apologise it was not able to open on 23 and 24 December but this was specifically due to delays with lighting being installed. 2. As above – the service will continue to work with the Property team and other services to mitigate (as far as possible) any future issues or unexpected delays. 3. The capital project continues and there are no further delays anticipated within the project timeline. I have asked officers for regular updates on progress of the works. 4. The library opened in its temporary location on 6 January. The museum plans to open nearer the summer (which has always been the intention as part of the project), and this will be determined by the appointment of the new Curator. 5. Yes, the vacant curator position will be advertised in January 2025 and we hope to recruit a new officer as soon as possible. 5. If applicable, any current or future costs incurred by unforeseeable delays will be taken out of the agreed project budget and the remaining works engineered to account for it.
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
