  PWD Committee met today.

  The Public Works Department Committee met this morning in Gilbert House. Discussions took place regarding the 1 million pound project from Social Services to build 18 new units plus a central facility for the new Sheltered Accommodation. Suggested sites were, the dockyard, the Triangle and the Old HQBFII area. The dockyard site was said to be restrictive due to structural problems and The Environmental Planning officer aired concerns about the Triangle site ? this he said was another open space of Stanley being taking up. He asked why, the accommodation had to be in one area rather than spread out, possibly building some on the East Falkland Development. It was eventually proposed that the decision of site should be returned to Executive Council.
