Community to have a say on future of key buildings?

An application has been made to declare three local buildings as “assets of community value”.

The buildings are;

  • The Hurst Hall Community Centre, Border Road, Strensall Camp, York,
  • Lendal Post Office, 22 Lendal, York and
  • Golden Ball Public House, 2 Cromwell Rd, Bishophill,

The York Council will consider the applications on 15th July

If successful, the local groups would have the opportunity to raise funds to buy the buildings from their current owners, should they be put on the market for sale.

The designation does not guarantee that the buildings would continue in their present use.
