Several Nottingham venues face uncertain futures
as negotiations with the city council continue and some say they have "no timeline" for when they will end. As part of a financial transformation plan, Nottingham City Council has been reviewing all of its commercial properties and putting some of them up for auction.
"This would allow us to enact a moratorium period whereby the property could not be sold, unless to ourselves, for a period of six months. This would allow us time to raise the money needed to make an offer to buy. We're working on a fundraising plan, details of which will be made public in the coming weeks."
The centre has to prove it is delivering "quantifiable community benefits" to get this reduced rent and in terms of the latest position, centre chairman Thulani Molife said: "At the moment we are being used essentially as the lead organisation for the council's new policy that it wants to use with all community centres.
Manager Phil Merry said: "The council want to put our rent up to £8,000, but they are also saying they want us to take full responsibility for the building. We've kept this building in very good order, but signing these terms would mean us paying for everything from repairs to lighting.
