Request
My request comes in two parts:
1. How much money was spent restoring Ellis Windmill to in July 2017?
2. How many Days has the mill been able to open since that day?
Decision
I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have
detailed below the information that is being released to you.
1. The works were carried out over a number of months in 2017 and 18, with final payment
being made in 2019. The cost of the work was £99641
2. The windmill has not been open since the repair works were completed. The repair works
were finished in 2018 and subsequent health and safety inspection completed prior to
opening. This highlighted some additional remedial work for public safety when accessing
the building. Whilst this work has been planned to be completed, the covid pandemic
delayed completion.
Please quote the reference number 1859749 in any future communications.
