Report
Agenda item 11 -
After a site visit with Councillors Bushby and Howell, the following email was received from the supplier, Promultis:
Based on the discussion we had originally about ambient light where the shop front is I quoted a standard brightness screen. Following the site survey we would recommend – especially for the times during the day when the light levels are high – a 2000 nits screen. The cost difference is £ 1925 ex VAT if we use a Phillips 49” high bright solution which is in stock with our distributors.
