24/05/2017 - Garage Sale of 4 Juno Road, Hemel Hempstead ref: 500    Recommendations Approved

4 Juno Road garage is let to Mr J A Roberts of 32 Hidalgo Court, and has been for some time. Mr Roberts have requested several times to purchase the above garage, but has been declined each time. Now that the Garage block (Juno Road) has been sold, he requested again whether the Council would accept a land sale.
After consultation with Nicholas Brown, it was decided to sell the garage block due to the other sales being completed stating ‘I can confirm that it is not on the list of assets to be sold. The garage is of no interest to DBC and the right of way already exists. The sale will not damage the interests of DBC in my view.’
