Salford City Council - Record of Decision
 
Title: Disposal of the Salfordian Hotel, Southport PR9
9LJ
 
I, Councillor Youd, Deputy City Mayor, in
exercise of the powers contained within the City Council’s
constitution, and following consultation with Cabinet Members at
the Property/Regeneration Briefing do hereby;
 

Approve the disposal of the freehold
interest in the Salfordian Hotel, 37 Park Crescent, Southport to
Sefton Metropolitan Council.

 

Authorise the Council’s Legal Service to
progress and complete the associated legal formalities and take all
steps required to give effect to the above recommendation.

 

Authorise the payment to Booth
Charities in line with the Grant Agreement as detailed in the
report.

 

Delegate authority to the Executive Director of
Place and the Section 151 officer to negotiate and finalise the
commercial arrangements of this transaction and all other necessary
ancillary agreements to allow the completion of the
disposal.

 
 
The Reasons:          
 
The proposed disposal of the Salfordian Hotel
represents a strategic release of a non-operational asset located
outside the Salford boundary. The disposal supports the
Council’s objective to rationalise its property portfolio and
reduce liabilities associated with vacant or underutilised assets.
The agreed terms, including use restrictions and overage
provisions, safeguard the City Council’s long-term interests
and ensure the property continues to serve a public benefit.
 
Overall, the disposal offers best value,
promotes inter-authority collaboration, and enables the redirection
of capital into priority areas.
