Motion by Councillors C Stewart and D Cuthbert
Motion on 1-5 High Street
That Council:
 notes the prior decisions taken in relation to the disposal of 1-5 High Street in
summer 2020, April 2022, and December 2025;
 believes that since the Council decision in December 2025 on Report 25/355,
additional information – including around running costs and other interest
expressed - has been provided to elected members which may have changed
their view and thus the decision;
 resolves to pause any current work on the Lock Terrace Ltd. proposal, and
instead to undertake a new marketing exercise for 1-5 High Street to establish
the full market potential of the building for any use, such marketing exercise to
be for a period of no less than 12 weeks; and to instruct officers to bring back
the results of such a marketing exercise to a full Council meeting by no later
than September 2026.
