The Labour run council have sold off two prime location council street properties in NW3, through estate agents Knight Frank HERE.
Council officer report to Cabinet committee meeting 7 Sept 2011 HERE
Theo Blackwell (cabinet member in charge of finance) who seems to have taken responsible for the sell offs, (as opposed to the cabinet member for housing) claims £11m has been offered for the two properties. The money will part go towards upgrading council homes in his ward (Gospel Oak). webcast of meeting HERE, index point 14.
Perhaps if the council as landlord didn't waste so much money on 'incidental' housing/landlord 'services' and freebies there wouldn't be a need to sell off such prime and no doubt sought after properties.
NB apparently the decision to sell the properties was made in Dec 2009 at the then called executive (now called cabinet) committee meeting when the lib-dems/tories had control of the council. Officers report HERE
No minutes of the Dec 2009 executive meeting are up on the councils website.
