Issue - decisions

That the Cabinet Member for Finance, Property and Regeneration;

·                     Acknowledged the dilapidated condition of the building and the ongoing costs to keep the building safe and secure

·                    Recognised the potential of the site to contribute to the Council’s ambitions to deliver an increase in levels of affordable housing for the residents of Westminster

·                     Committed to engaging with the local community and ward members on the opportunities achievable on this site

·                     Acknowledged the need for more sheltered and other supportive accommodation in this area

Reasons for Decision 

Following full consideration of the petition it was considered that there are clear imperatives to consider opportunities to the site as it not feasible or desirable to maintain the site in its current state. The ongoing costs to secure the building do not represent value for money.
