Because it was 'sold off' over twenty  years ago so that private investment could pay for its revamp. Scottish Widows, Aberdeen Investments and several other have been involved with it over the years, they own most of the buildings along there anyway.

How much did the council sell it for ?

and where did the cash go?

It would be interesting to know how little of the city centre the council do own now.

We will be still paying for the new Moor Market for the next fifty years ,    The old Castle one belonged to us lock stock and barrel . Its now a pile of rubble waiting for a Castle to rise from the ashes along with Ivanhoe .

Not on a reduction of rates and coucil tax that's for sure.

Plant pots in Crookes.

No idea of the details, only got involved as we had equipment on there that needed removing/altering. I assume the cash went back into the town centre pot, probably towards the Peace Gardens redevelopment.

Just seen this on Facebook.

 

By the new owners statements can we assume the beggars / alcoholics and homeless are in keeping with the high class ideals they think the Moor encompasses?
