Agenda item

Longcroft, 305 Langley Road, Langley (Former Elderly Persons Home)

Decision:

That the Interim Borough Secretary and Solicitor, in consultation with the Strategic Director of Resources be authorised to dispose of the subject property on the terms detailed in the Part II report.

Minutes:

The Cabinet considered a report seeking approval to the disposal of Longcroft, 305 Langley Road.  Members were asked to take an urgent decision to ensure the sale proceeded as quickly as possible as several parties were involved and to avoid the holding costs and associated issues of the property being empty.  The Chair advised Members that there was a Part 2 report on this matter and it was agreed that Members would discuss the matter in Part 1 without making any reference to Part 2 material.  Members noted that the property was in the Langley St Mary’s ward not Kedermister. 

 

Members were advised that the prospective purchaser had confirmed that all the required approvals were in place and that they were keen to complete the purchase as soon as possible.  The offer made by the prospective purchaser was considered to represent best value.  The service users attending the Phoenix Day Centre had been provided with alternative provision.

 

Resolved, on the grounds of urgency - That the Interim Borough Secretary and Solicitor, in consultation with the Strategic Director of Resources be authorised to dispose of the subject property on the terms detailed in the Part II report.
