71/2010 |
The Cabinet agreed to the commencement of the procurement process for the proposal to provide new cremators, mercury abatement up to the level of 100% and to provide additional car parking space together with larger chapel accommodation (option 4 in the report). |
Reasons:
The provision of abatement equipment is required through legislation. The current cremators are coming to the end of their economic life and the chapel accommodation is too small for service users. There is also insufficient car parking space for current demand and additional car parking would be required as a condition of enlarging the chapels.
