Description

The Abbey Road Working Men's Club and Institute (locally known as the House of Lords), was subject to a devastating fire in 2017 and the remaining ruin has stood derelict ever since.
Barrow Borough Council have commissioned a number of surveys since the fire to ascertain and monitor the ongoing condition of the building. A structural survey by CARE-accredited engineers Blackett-Ord Conservation Engineering has highlighted a number of works that are urgently necessary to preserve the historic character of the building remnants.
Barrow Borough Council are progressing enforcement action against the building owners pursuant to Section 54 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, which enable the Council to execute any works which appear to be urgently necessary for the preservation of a listed building in its area.
This commission is part of a series of enforcement cases that the Council are escalating to improve the historic town centre as part of the High Street Heritage Action Zone programme.
The Council are seeking the services of a building contractor with experience working with heritage buildings to carry out these urgent works.

NOTE - Following service of the notice on the building owners, if they carry out the urgent works to a sufficient standard ahead of the Council appointed contractor commencing the works, the services of the Council appointed contractor will no longer be required and the contract will be void. The Council can accept no liability for any costs incurred should this scenario arise.
