Slough Borough Council is selling a piece of land to the rear of Trelawney Avenue, it announced today (Monday).
At the moment, the site is in two parts.
- A former garage site, where the garages have been demolished and hoardings placed around the site.
- The other half of the site is an open tarmac area with a bin storage location. Hoarding is to be erected around this half of the site tomorrow (Tuesday).
The site will be launched to market on Thursday 21 November, for auction on 12 December through online site BidX1.
Notices have gone out to local residents, commercial tenants and cars parked within the open tarmac area, informing them of the area to be sold, and the new fencing which is to be installed.
The two bin storage areas for the residents in this area will be relocated. The new locations will be positioned outside the area to be disposed of but will be situated less than 100 yards of their existing locations.
Any purchaser of the site will be required to obtain appropriate permissions, with any design being sensitive to neighbouring properties.
The sale is part of the council’s programme of asset sales which is designed to release unused parcels of land and buildings within the borough to bring them back into use.
Councillor Wal Chahal, lead member for finance and assets, said: “We hope this piece of land will find a new use which will enhance the area. There is the potential for a variety of uses here, and I look forward to seeing this parcel of land have a new life.
“Our asset programme will continue into the new year, including land and buildings for sale across the borough.”
