Making the most of our assets!


We want your views on 17 sites which have been identified as suitable for possible sale.
It’s part of the council’s ongoing Asset Management Plan to ensure that all the land and property it owns provides the best possible value for money for Council Tax payers and that it is effectively managed and remains up to date and modern for people to use.

The proceeds from any sales will then be re-invested into building new facilities.

View the full list of sites and the proposals for the possible future use of each site. The proposals given are examples of how the sites could be used and we welcome any further comments or suggestions on their future.

"Making the most of our assets"

I raise the following questions.

1. What idiot would sell off their assets during the worst global economic crisis since the 2nd World War?

2. What SPECIFICALLY is this revenue to be spent on?

3. More development and more housing?

4. Why is TDC already building double the number of houses required by Government, when most other Councils in the Country are fighting housing numbers?
