A quick update on the above. The funding received by the council earlier this year did not allow for improvement works at the Haven. The feedback as to why, seems to point to bids that got through being more effectively linked to employment opportunities. Which the Haven one does not contain. The same conditions apply to the 2nd round of CCG bid applications. So sadly not possible to put in a bid in with any confidence.
But you never know, future opportunities might arise. Discussions with the council indicate that they will keep this as a live matter and, as and when new grant bids open up, they will be explored.
So for the time being keep those rubber mats in place !!
