Stage 2 Community Asset Transfer

We have great pleasure to announce that we have received notification, direct from the office of Tameside Council, that we have been invited to progress to Stage 2 of its approved Community Asset Transfer policy. We have now been asked to submit a detailed business case to the Council for review before October.

Obviously, we have to adhere to the councils expectations and requirements if this is to be successful, but this is fantastic news going forward. There will be an enormous amount of work to be completed in the next few months, including researching, bid writing and business planning, also advice & information to receive from a wide range of professionals, who have experience in this type of conservation project, including forward thinking towards sustainability & inclusion.

Everyone in the group is invited to participate with ideas & suggestions, support and help. We will be calling out for specific industry advice over the coming weeks.
Thank you for your continued patience, and we look forward to working with you all as individuals, as well as collaborating with existing community groups & local businesses for participation in this amazing project for our conservatory going forward.

We look forward to receiving your emails into johnnieldconservatory@gmail.com
