The City Council is implementing a programme of works at BK House.

The worn treads of the steps are being replaced due to them being a trip hazard, particularly in frosty weather. They are going to be replaced like for like and will be done one set at a time. The City’s conservation officer has been involved and it appears that planning permission is not required. There is no removal of steps and the work is due to commence in March.

Scaffolding will be erected to the front of the property next week for repairs to the front elevation and front pediment. The existing works to the roof are nearing completion.
