How can Regeneration Officer agree to the demolition of the best building in Ely? 

A 'library' is to be crammed in the Ugly HUB with other
services Note the flat roofed garish coloured play porch

Subject: FW: Ely Library and Housing Office 
  
As discussed, here is a summary of what is proposed 
following demolition:- Site will be top 
soiled and seeded then either secured with fencing 
and gates or remain open 
with bollards – subject to community consultation. 

I can confirm that the demolition notices were installed in 
the locality on 25th April 2014 and are 
being checked for the 4 week period and will be reinstalled as necessary. 

On reviewing the notices there is no contact details required / input on the notices for people to 
comment on. However the posters advising of the closure, demolition and redevelopment are 
visible in the library window as well as being on display in the library and housing office therefore 
anyone querying the notices are likely to be be the service users and would enquire within these 
buildings and be given our contact details. These posters have been on display since Thur 10th 
April and will remain in situ until closure at end of June. We have not had any queries to date. 

I hope this helps. 

Kind regards,
