Work
in progress at BCAT
by Steve Cooke (BCAF chair)
Thanks
for all the hard work of the staff, Trust members and, above
all, the local architect who have worked under a tight timescale
to ensure the schedule of work on the site started on time.
Work has
commenced at BCAT premises to renovate the first floor of
12-14 Burngreave. This will complete phase 2 of the building,
due in 3rd week of August, and which will increase BCAF/T
office space. This will enable the organisation to extend
its role in supporting the local projects, which will facilitate
economic development activities in the area. This huge development
wouldn’t have been possible without the SRB funding
and support from the local area housing manager Christine
Horton.
BCAT Organisational Development Project
Following meeting with NDfC executive team and Government
office, a commitment has been given to protect the current
function of BCAT and help to develop the project. NDfC and
Government office acknowledge the important role of BCAF/T
in the regeneration of Burngreave and are keen to see the
development of the organisation. The project is due to be
presented in the forthcoming NDC partnership Board meeting
due at the end of July. The new NDfC executive John Clark
is in a positive frame of mind to work in partnership with
local organisations, and looks forward to local organisation’s
vital contribution in the delivery of NDC programme.
