The annual return was noted.
4. To receive an update on progress to dissolve the George Watson Memorial Hall charity The Charities Commission have advised that we can proceed with closing the charity but as disposal is to a sole trustee permission must be sought from the Charity Commission to proceed. This requires a valuation of the building, split by the three existing Land Registry titles. Additionally it is believed 64 Barton Street also form part of the charity land.
5. To receive an update on the valuation of the George Watson Memorial Hall and 64 Barton Street
The valuation of the buildings took place during week commencing 5[th] March 2025. Not all valuation reports have yet been received. Once all have been received, the Town Clerk will go back to the Charities Commission. It is hoped that this will be completed within 2025/26 financial year.
