Newsham Park vacants Update
 
Dear neighbours
 
Last night  (Wednesday 11th June) I attended the meeting of the Newsham Park Steering Committee (re Housing)
 
A report was given that extensive attempts to sell 33/35 Newsham Drive and 81/83 Belmont Drive had not met the reserved price
 
As a consequence these properties at an adjusted price will be remarketed and probably auctioned
 
Attempts to sell 16 Prescot Drive for a refurbishment site again had not been successful , therefore with my support the committee recommend the site be remarketed for sale as a potential new build within clear conservation planning guidelines to be compatible with the Park
 
Lastly an attempt to sell two substantial sections of Prescot Road in two sections will be made on basis of potential block refurbishment
The Committee also agreed to the demolition of a smaller block of Prescot Road which included the former dentists which was the subject of a serious fire
 
Regards
 
Cllr Steve Radford
