47 <p>HK visited on 27/4, surveyor in as well wrt floor loading, happy,
48 further years lighting fixtures mentioned, would need approval from
49 us. Showed him the flat. No actual reply wrt Licencing Venue. Not
50 particularly happy about Hideout bailing, we've got fealers out to a
51 Mimi's Bakehouse and Susie's (Kitchen?). Summerhall?
52 30/5 prevu for arrangements on what gets taken away and to where.
53 EICR valid until 9/24 per CEC.
54 We've self-tested lighting, all over 2 hours.
55 Never been asked by Fire/CEC/...

59 <p>MG reverted to Gunn/Alexanders: Carbon is horrendous. Timetabled for
60 1st week in July.
61 We need a decision about cool/warm/...
62
63 ACTION HST: Contact Jean Carletta about more replacable fitting?
64 If no, or not quickly, then
65 ACTION HST&amp;JK to put a request to Trustees for approval.</p>
66 </div>
67 <div><title>Carpets</title>
68 <p> Our two guys both said no allergy or smell issue. No difference in
69 risk of lifting. 75% recycled is available for &lt;10% change.
70
71 ACTION HST&amp;JK: to put a request to Trustees for approval.

75 <div><title>Flat 3F2 at 6 Upper Bow</title>
76 <p> HST proposed that we add the use of 3F2 by CVenues to their licence
77 agreement. As a one-off private agreement between us, it means
78 it's not a "short-term let".

80 MG looked briefly at advertisements for August lets in the centre,
81 and reported
82
83 It could be anything from £5,000 per month to £10,000 per month, I think,
84 on location alone.
85 One room and shared spaces is £1,500 per month, at the lowest. And that is
86 quite a way out.
87 Even allowing for it being a bit scruffy, anything under £2,500 per month
88 would be underselling it in August, I think.
89 One chap I found is charging £4,500pm for a double room on the other side
90 of the Meadows...
91
92 MG has asked Hartley for 7KGBP/mo
93
94 We AGREED to go ahead on this basis.
