The Future

Asset Transfer moves forward!

 

The Cabinet of Wirral Borough Council has recently agreed to accept the business plan put forward by the Joint Management Committee of the Hoylake Community Centre. This transfers the management of the site and its assets under a 99 year lease to a new charitable company to be known as Hoylake Parade Ltd. This company will be set up to run the Centre for the benefit of the local community as before.

 

The transfer provides for funding to allow the full refurbishment of the roofs, replacement of all windows, new drains and car park. These works will be completed in 2011/2012 and our aim is to have a building which will serve local people for the next century as it has for the previous one.

 

It is expected that the intent to lease will be signed within the next two months. This is the culmination of over 20 years work by a group of dedicated volunteers who were not prepared to see this great building demolished and the site sold for housing. Over £1.3m has been spent to date on creating this wonderful facility for the local community.

 

As part of this process, the Centre has appointed Centre Development Manager Gill Norris to supervise office staff and promote the Centre.
