The request was partially successful.

Dear Conwy County Borough Council,

Further to your response to FOI 9955-16, could you please confirm what the cost to the taxpayer for this is?

Are the offices to be rented from M&G, and if so, what is the monthly/annual cost for the rent? Is this for the full 40 year term? If not rented, then how is it being paid for by Conwy County Borough Council?

Yours faithfully,

H Spencer

Dear Mr Spencer

The total cost to the Council as a consequence of its financial agreement with M&G is in the order of £58million; other occupation costs (rates, utilities etc) are in addition. These costs are less than the ‘do nothing’ option. By undertaking the project, as you will be aware, the Council will be modernising and de-risking its estate, and it is part of a wider programme of modernising facilities for staff, visitors and customers and assisting with the regeneration of Colwyn Bay. M&G will be the landlords on practical completion for a 40 year term with a put and call option at the end, whereby CCBC can acquire for £1.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of this response and should be sent to the address below.

Please ensure all email correspondence is sent to the [Conwy Council request email] email address.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, or if you are unhappy with this response you may appeal to the Information Commissioner’s Office – Wales, 2nd Floor, Churchill House, Churchill Way, Cardiff, CF10 2HH.
