Councillors block sale of derelict sites amid fears over sale prices
They say they believe the city council could get better value for money from the sale of the Lodge on Model Farm Rd, and the former Abode site on Skehard Rd.
They also criticised the fact that senior city officials who oversee such disposals, and the city’s law agent, were not at the meeting to answer specific questions about the proposed sales, and offer legal advice on the implications of various possible decisions. It follows the presentation of two reports at Monday’s council meeting in relation to the proposed disposals.
