A town’s old civic building will go up for auction at a guide price of £340,000, despite pleas to Leeds City Council to avoid selling it off.
Rothwell’s former urban district offices will go under the hammer on December 5. The area’s ward councillors, all three of whom are Liberal Democrats, had campaigned for the offices to be transferred to a local community group after it was vacated in 2016. But the Labour-run city council said last month it had to sell the building, on Marsh Street, because of its dire financial predicament.
“The community deserved to be consulted and warned the council was planning to sell our heritage off. “Instead, we effectively got a ‘no fault eviction’ notice to clear the building of any historic items of local interest within days before the building was handed over to the auction house.” But in a statement defending the move last month, the council said it was facing a £30m hole in its finances.
