One outcome of the ongoing maintenance of the Centre is the Instsllation by ADT of a tonplotely new fire and intruder alarm sysrem to cover the basement and ground floor5.

Another urgent issue that Ernest brought to the Board5 attention Was incipient water ingre55 In the hallway Ht the entrance of the Basement. A surveyor s report was necess3ry to locate the cause of darnp and w3ter ingress in the Basement. The survey report clearly indicated that the front walkway leading to the ground floor entrance had to be made watÈr proofed. This obviously entails major works IE. Tipping off the old tiling, laying dowri a waterproof tnetnbrane. making good any damage. repairs if 3ny required. and then rÈlaying with new tile5. Three quotes were received for this work. but the Builder chosen to carry out the work proved reluctant to answer e5sentia1 queries raised by the Board. so we are now looking for another building tontractor who could undertske this work. Another possible expense in the new year is replacing the wooden sash wiridow of the Archive rooTn on the ground fioor to make it watertight and airtight. Two quotes have been received for ￿pIating the wotrdon window, one from a firm that specialises In replacing antique wooden windows,. however. the Board's priority must be the work on the walkw3y, once another suitsble building contractor is found.
