Shropshire Council's £500,000 decision to no longer run one of the county's oldest visitor attractions has been suspended.
Shropshire Council will no longer run the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm
The call-in request was made by the Shropshire Lib Dems. They said the marketing and publicity of Acton Scott is"poor and almost non-existent", and added:"The value of the enterprise to the local economy is vastly undervalued." "Approaches should be made to local business and local parish/town councils to ask if any help could be given in maintain this enterprise both in the short term and long term."
The decision was made to return the lease to the landowner, The Acton Scott Estate, which has said it will keep people informed of plans for the site, and when it will reopen. After the decision was made, a statement from the council said: “The settlement allows the owners to invest in the essential infrastructure improvements required to support endeavours to open a new historic attraction.”
