Works at the College to which the Deputy refers were halted in April of this year due to the withdrawal of the originally appointed contractor. The project is currently being re — tendered with completed tenders due back later this month. Provided that a successful and satisfactory tender is received, works should re- commence on site early in 2012. In this regard, the Deputy may be aware that I recenlty announced that funding for this project is available as part of capital spending plans covering the period 2012 to 2016.
Following the withdrawal of the contractor earlier this year, a range of works necesary to secure the site, to eliminate health and safety risks and to address relates issues and concerns were undertaken.
