6 Community Right to Bid - Former storage building within Torkington Park pdf icon PDF 130 KB

To consider a report of the Corporate Director for Corporate and Support Services.

 

The report provides the Area Committee with information about a nomination received for a building within Torkington Park as part of the Community Right to Bid. The applicant is seeking to have the building listed as an asset of community value that will mean that should it ever be disposed of then the community will have the opportunity to bid to purchase it before it is offered on the open market.

 

The Area Committee is recommended to consider the information provided in Section 4 of the report and determine whether the Asset’s main use has recently been or is presently being used to further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community and could reasonably do so in the future i.e. within the next five years.

 

The Area Committee is asked to decide on whether, based on the information above, the nomination is suitable for inclusion on the list of assets of community value.
