Decision details

With reference to article 20 of the minute of the meeting of the Finance and Resources Committee of 13 June 2013, the Sub Committee had before it a report by the Director of Enterprise, Planning and Infrastructure which provided members with an update on negotiations with Torry Community Council regarding proposals for the former Victoria Road School.

The report recommended –

that the Sub Committee –

(a)       note that only limited information has been forthcoming from Torry Community Council in relation to their plans for the building; and

(b)               instruct officers to write to the Torry Community Council requesting that their initial proposal, programme and action plan  for the building must be submitted to officers in time to permit a report to the Finance, Policy and Resources Committee on 5 December 2013 to be prepared.

The Sub Committee heard from Mr Stephen Booth, Property Estates Manager, who advised that Torry Community Council had received funding to carry out a feasibility study and he intimated that this piece of work might not be completed by December 2013, however officers would continue to report progress to the Sub Committee at that time.

The Sub Committee resolved:-

(i)         to approve the recommendations; and

(ii)        to note the oral update provided by the Property Estates Manager.
