The letter sent by the Resources Portfolio Holder to Alderman Brooks stated:
“The Purchaser has confirmed that they are working to a completion date of on or before 31st October 2018. However, In the event of any unforeseen delay, it has been agreed that an extension to 21st December 2018 would be reasonable before final termination of the contract, taking into account the Purchasers’ work and expenditure to date, and the additional costs and uncertainty the Council would incur re-marketing the Property.
