Thatch has a known life span and a replacement budget should have been programmed in. £80,000 seems a lot of money for replacement thatch. I reckon they must be thinking of using reed rather than what would have been originally used, or have I got that wrong. ‘Programmed in’ – you must be joking. How many programmes ever think that far? The council I worked for had, new build, maintenance and replacement budgets. Thatch has a life of what 25-35 years?. No big surprise that it's going to need replacing on a regular basis. Sorry to sound like a philistine but does a new roof have to be a thatch ... the Barn is after all an educational centre (someone's going to tell me its listed now and I am a philistine). I've only been in there a couple of times - on both occasions borrowed someone's NT membership card otherwise it's prohibitively expensive.
