The Leader reported receipt of a question from  Mr Andrew Hall of Martingate Centre Ltd to which Cabinet member, Cllr Toby Sturgis responded. The question centred on asking Cabinet to confirm whether it wished to retain or sell Corsham Mansion House and Library. A copy of the question and response are available on the Council’s website along with the agenda for this meeting, was made available at the meeting and attached to the signed copy of these minutes.

Mr Hall further asked how long it would take for the Council to clarify its intended use for the property. Cllr Sturgis reiterated that this was very much linked to the emerging Strategic Economic Plan for Wiltshire and the outcome of future Government bidding rounds.

The Leader reminded those present that she would as usual, be happy for them to express their views on any items on the agenda by indicating they wished to speak.
