A spokesperson stated at the time that \u201cfurther consideration\u201d would be required before a decision was reached on \u201cwhat should replace it\u201d.<\/p>\n

The sponsor body\u2019s CEO Sarah Johnson said in a statement this week that she would be departing from her role\u00a0 “before the summer Parliamentary recess” following the decision\u2026.<\/p>\n

Johnson also announced that three other senior members of staff were also leaving: Amanda Colledge, business case director; Claire Maugham, communications director; and Chris Sexton, chief of staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Delivery Authority is continuing with its programme of surveys and investigations into the condition of the buildings which will inform future decisions.<\/p>\n
