To consider a report of the Deputy Chief Executive

At the meeting of the Area Committee held on 7 November 2013 it was agreed that the Edgeley Park Stadium (“the Asset”) be listed as an asset of community value as the Asset’s main use (i.e. not ancillary) had recently been or is presently 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.

In accordance with the Localism Act 2011 assets are removed from the list after a period of five years.

The Area Committee is recommended to approve the addition of the Edgeley Park Stadium to the List of Assets of Community Value for a further period of five years.
