April’s meetings of Shildon Town Council will take place on Monday 13th, from 6.30pm in the Council Chambers, Civic Hall Square.
Among the items to be discussed is a planning application for the proposed alterations to the Rest House in Hackworth Park.
The plans have been submitted by Health Express and propose the inclusion of a first floor study and meeting room, and the insertion of 4 dormers in the existing roof space.
The plans follow the decision by the Town Council to rent the building to Health Express for a ‘peppercorn rent’ on a 25 year lease.
Other planning applications that will also be reviewed include the erection of an externally illuminated fascia sign at Nisa Local on Jubilee Road and the erection of a storage and distribution building on land to the east of Unit 5, Future Business Park, Shildon.
Also on the agenda, for the Resources Committee, is the application for grant aid from Shildon People’s Centre.
The sum of £2,500 has been requested to help towards running costs at the Centre, which, among other things, runs a job club helping the unemployed find work.
Members of the public are invited to attend the meeting.
