Renewal: the contract is for 12 months with the option to extend for up to 12 months.
Planning Information
A questionnaire was issued out to participants for them to complete and return via email to the Town Hall Project email.

The information which was obtained has been used to consider whether the package requires sub division, the budget and programme and potential lead in times.
