Keep the Triangle for Cinderford
Please reconsider the terms of the lease for the Triangle in Cinderford.
Why is this important?
FoDDC need to reconsider the lease agreement on the Triangle to continue to allow Cinderford Town Council to maintain it as a community resource at the heart of the town.
The original development was funded by Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) money for the community of Cinderford, not as a money making asset for the District Council.
Cinderford Town Council have maintained the area and buildings ever since and the area is used by many community groups, local businesses and for weekly markets.
The Town Council fears that FoDDC will raise rents to generate income but price out businesses leaving prime retail locations empty in the town.
Without income, sale or redevelopment would be options for FoDDC and the community could lose the resource for ever. This could cripple local trade and threaten community events like the Remembrance Day Parade.
