§ Mr. LeeIt is not possible to separate the consequences of the closure of Chilwell and Newark in cost terms from refurbishment and other costs arising from the totality of REME static workshop review proposals. The estimated capital investment needed in the workshops mentioned in order to satisfy the requirements proposed for the reorganisation of the static workshops are:
£ Bicester 805,000 Bovington 885,000 Donnington 130,000 Old Dalby 600,000 However, there are capital savings associated with the closures; these amount to £4 million. to which should be added the realisable value of the Chilwell and Newark sites, assessed together at £1.5 million.
