Rosy says no to proposed new meeting hall for CMC members
View(s):The Colombo Municipal Council has turned down a proposal to build a new meeting hall for members. Mayor Rosy Senanayake at last week’s meeting said that the proposal to build a new meeting hall for the 119 councillors had been opposed by many members.
“Spending Rs 220 million on a new meeting hall is too expensive as well as a difficult task,” she said adding that instead the existing hall would be renovated and seating would be provided to all 119 members. She said the renovation would cost Rs 58 million and the furniture Rs 20 million amounting to a total of Rs 78 million.
