Consideration was given to the report which sought approval to dispose of the Council’s freehold interest of a number of surplus properties, namely:-

The subject properties have all been declared surplus to the operational requirements of the service directorates. Some have been held in the Land and Property Bank for a number of years whilst services and external public sector bodies have investigated various potential uses.

The overall condition of the properties was deteriorating and many were suffering from continued acts of vandalism and anti-social behaviour.

(a)        Goodwin Crescent, Swinton.
