Woodbridge Town Council (WTC) are the freehold owners of the Grade 1 listed Shire Hall – title number SK37939. WTC purchased the building from Suffolk County Council in 1988, and since that time it has been the administrative centre of the Council, as well as functioning as a public building available for rent.
A condition survey (supplied) completed by the Morton Partnership in 2021 has been used as the base level document for a public engagement in 2023 and additional reporting by Whitworth in 2024 (supplied).
WTC are currently seeking grant funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to undertake a full renovation of the building, however due to failing condition have identified that repair works to the ground floor and first floor windows are now an urgent requirement.
WTC are therefore seeking quotations for the undertaking of the repair work as provided below – the detail for which has been lifted from the Whitworth report. A site visit is recommended so that contractors can view the condition of each window, as well as understand the position of the building as central island in a town centre location.
Full details can be found in the attached documentation.
