The first meeting of the Moray Council Steering Group for the new build was held this morning.  This included councillors, council officials and a representative of the Parent Council.  The group has the remit of keeping an overview of developments.  It was good to have a review of progress and the next steps of the project as well as hearing how it will link to the Hubco which will be responsible for much of the planning and build.  The timescale for starting in spring 2014 and opening in summer 2015 is still very much achievable – although there is a lot of work to take place.  A Senior Project Manager should be appointed very soon.  This person will have responsibility for taking the project forward.  An encouraging meeting!
