The space being converted was idle and dilapidated and this project maximises the capability of the building. It was also deemed necessary to the success of the project to bring in technical expertise from specialist contractors.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 22/03/2021 17:27:34 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
