A former children’s centre is set to be sold off in September – more than three years after the council authorised its sale.
Councillors on the decision-making executive board approved the sale of South Pudsey Community Centre and its surrounding land on Lumby Lane back in February 2021 in a bid to raise money for the cash-strapped council.
The sale is part of a review of the council’s property portfolio as it seeks to balance its books and offset a reduction in national government funding since 2010.
WLD understands the disposal of this property was halted due to some statutory works Yorkshire Water requested to carry out. Yorkshire Water have now told the council they no longer require the site and so, we in land and property are re-entering the site for auction on 18 September 2024.
South Pudsey Community Centre was formerly office accommodation for the Council’s Children and Families department.
