Community centre set for sale after approval

The building in Blackstoun Road, previously home to the Fathers' Club and Caring Project, was marketed for sale in the summer and has been the subject of "several offers".

However, for the local authority to move forward with any of these, the site must be confirmed as surplus at a meeting of the communities and housing policy board next Tuesday.

A report, which will be considered by councillors, explained: "The property was constructed in 1993 in the grounds of St Fergus' Primary School on Blackstoun Road and was let in that year to Caring Project charity and used as a community centre.
