Expanding hackspace upstairs
Our landlord has approached us to ask if Hackspace would be interested in expanding into the first floor of the unit we currently occupy the ground floor of. This would be room-by-room, as and when they become available, with the eventual aim of Hackspace becoming sole tenants of the whole unit. We will be voting on the following resolution:
“We want to expand the Hackspace onto the first floor, by securing tenancy of each room as it becomes available, with the aim of eventually taking on all of Unit B”.
Roller shutter motorisation
Our landlord is replacing his two roller shutters with insulated, motorised ones shortly. He has offered to include ours in the quote and cover 50% of the cost. This works out to a total cost to the Hackspace of £2640.
Whilst we have previously explored the motorisation of the roller shutter with external controls as a means to step-free access, this is not possible to implement whilst complying with building regs and the terms of our insurance. However, as we are responsible for the maintenance of our (quite old) roller shutter as per the terms of our lease this offer is still worth considering. Previous quotes for the replacement of a single shutter have come out around £8000.
