I’m delighted to report that Labour’s Palace on The Sands has been sold to the University. The legal documents were signed off yesterday and the council has not only recovered all the cost of the building but made a significant profit which will be invested into services.

Labour should never had spent £50million of taxpayers money on the unnecessary building. The joint administration your Lib Dem councillors are part of have sold the building to the university, protecting hundreds of jobs and helping to creat hundreds more.
