Issue details
Former public conveniences building at Kirby
Playing Fields has been closed and disused for several years. The
property is in dilapidated condition and requires a full roof
replacement as well as new external doors. Due to its isolated
location, there has been no interest in the property from third
parties over the years.
In early 2026 Kirby Fete, a community non for profit group,
expressed an interest in the property, to be used as storage, and
has offered to undertake the necessary repairs. In return for this
investment, a five-year term has been agreed at a peppercorn
rent.
