I see this building is now going up for auction with a guide price of £75,000. Three bedroom, two reception etc. Also a lot work and expense to bring it up to scratch. Having said that, if it is done properly it will be a nice family house. It certainly makes the bungalow across the road look relatively cheap at £125,000. At least you could live in that one while you renovated, and it has a garage and back garden plus doorstep access to the village shops without dragging your car out.
It does however, leave the Victoria Institute looking a decidedly poor relative when it is eventually sold, as common sense must dictate. The thing that really annoys me about this building is where were all these 'friends' when the building was vacated and vandalised 10 years ago. Not a whimper from any of them. Spending money then might have been a viable option, if only to put the more responsible billiard players back in control. Now they ask for our support on a project that is doomed to failure. Too much money needed for something that will have no real purpose other than to gobble up cash. Already a grant of £10,000 has been spent for a feasibility study. A complete waste of money in my opinion and to commit more to this project will be folly.
Still no news on the election results yet.
