A NEW £1.4 million budget to rebuild a city community centre is set to be officially signed off tonight.
The cost for creating a new Bullingdon Community Centre in Headington will be put to Oxford City Council.
Officers have had to increase the budget for the project by £200,000 partly because it was discovered that the original centre on Peat Moors had been built on top of a former quarry which was filled in.

The officers said they 'Recommend to council to increase the total project budget by £200,000 to £1,403,000. This is included as part of the consultation budget."
