Installation of Sacrifice Sculpture and Associated Works

BACKGROUND

The Town Council is based at St Johns Chapel, The Butts Belper, Derbyshire. It owns and maintains the Belper Memorial Gardens on King Street, Belper, DE56 1QA. This area used to be the garden of the Strutt family who then gifted the land to the Urban District of Belper in 1920 in memory of those who died in the Great War. The UDC erected a war memorial in the Gardens and it has since been dedicated as a Commemorative Field.

The Council has granted to Belper Arts Festival and the WW1 Group consent to install a sculpture in the Memorial Gardens to honour the sacrifice of those that died in WW1. A mock photograph of the sculpture is included in the quotation documents The sculpture is being fabricated and it is made from steel.

It is proposed to install the sculpture at the area marked blue on the Plan. The area marked yellow requires improvement and these associated works are included in this quotation.

The Council obtained planning permission for the works.

The Council seeks a Contractor to install the sculpture and undertake the associated works. The Town Council has agreed a budget of £9,000 for the works.
