Dundee Scouts Benefit from Asset Transfer in The Ferry

Last night, at the City Development Committee, Councillors agreed unanimously to a number of Community Asset Transfers including one concerning a garage in Ellieslea Road in The Ferry. 

A community asset transfer is a mechanism whereby there is a transfer of assets from a public body such as the Dundee City Council to voluntary and community not for profit organisations in order to bring about long term community benefits. The 'asset' involved usually concerns a redundant building or land which is sold or leased long term to a not for profit, community based organisation.

In this case the Council agreed to sell the a garage in Ellieslea Road to the 26th Scout Group Dundee (Scottish Charity Number SC030644) as a storage depot with legal 'burdens' to limit the future use to support Scouting.
