The Joint Committee was shown samples of the types of wood wall covering and fixing arrangements proposed by Robert Benn Associates, as illustrated on the plans prepared by RBA and displayed at the meeting.
Members indicated they wished to see light coloured American Yellow Poplar used, and that the panel sections be fixed vertically to the walls.
Members were advised that the work’s programme envisaged tenders being invited during November 2014 with out of hours on site work being undertaken during the spring 2015.

However it was suggested that if and when there were any material design or related issues arising that required immediate resolution they would consult with the chairman, and members agreed this course of action.
