Through the followin8 6 months we developed the plans alongside the architects to enable us to get Initial costin85 for the project. The quotes we received were much hi8hef than we were expectin8 for the benefits that project would give us. Thls meant that we took the decision to take a few steps back In order to develop plans that were both beneficial and flnanclally vlable. As we came to the end of the FY In March 2025 we are st511 In the consultatlon process wSth archltects and other professionals In order to get us to the pre plannin8 phase. 41 We have gone throu8h a staffln8 restructure whlch has seen the Introductlon of 3 key roles wlthln the staff structure.
