The proposed site is owned by the Lands Trust. Cost? We don’t know. What we do know is it won’t be cheap. Nor should it be.
There are three large companies on the site that will need to be moved. At who’s cost? Both moving and lease buyouts will be need to be paid for.
Surprise! The site is actually smaller than the existing town hall site.
The Lands Trust should not be allowed to sell commercial land for non-commercial use. And we think they prefer not to.
If the Lands Trust do accept an offer from the council, you will all have an opportunity to object.
Commercial land provides their income for community grants for generations to come. Once sold, it’s gone, and so is that income.
