SAVE CREDITON COUNCIL OFFICES FOR THE COMMUNITY
We demand that the Council's Cabinet reconsider their decision to sell the Crediton Council Offices to a private buyer and instead sell the property to Crediton Town Council.
Why is this important?
The Council Offices are used by Crediton Town Council to hold meetings in the council chamber and to conduct their business. The building is also used by Citizens Advice, the Churches Housing Action Trust and about 20 other charitable organisations and as a base when community events take place on the town square opposite. All these organisations will be left homeless and there are no other suitable premises close in to the town. Council officers recommended that the building be sold to the Town Council at 50% of the restricted value as recommended by council officers in April 2017 - the same terms as Tiverton Town Hall was sold to Tiverton Town Council recently.
