Hi all,
The update this month will be reasonably brief (returned from holiday on Monday to a mountain of work)!
I’ll concentrate really on one major item – Greene King and news on the Kimberley Brewery site (see below).
Other issues very briefly – there’s been an excellent response from residents in Kimberley on a couple of different issues:

1. T1 Phoenix Flyer and looking to re-route this via Swingate.
2. Traffic problems in the Hardy Street, Cliff Boulevard area. I’ve still got 70 unopened letters to wade through, but from the letters and e mails I’ve seen so far, there’s been some excellent suggestions on both issues.

Nick & I are also making steady progress with the Market proposals for Kimberley. We’ve talked to a number of traders who have expressed an interest, and are just awaiting some final feedback from them and on the legal side, before we go public on what the final proposals are. As mentioned before we would like ideally to get this started from November, but are just waiting a few answers at present.
Also there’s some excellent work been done over the past 6 months that will hopefully come to fruition in Awsworth & Cossall later this month, with the start of Community Speed there. Thanks in particular to Ed Stewart, Cllr Steve Brunt and PCSO Peter Keeley for all of their expertise and guidance.

As ever if there is anything Nick or myself can assist with, do get in touch, and feedback on any issue is always welcome.

Best regards,
Richard

Cossall and Kimberley News Update and Information Service September 2009

Kimberley Brewery
Many of you will know that Nick & I have been pressing Greene King on two major issues over the past couple of years; first they should consider selling the site off in separate parts (as opposed to one lot) and secondly that whatever happens in terms of the sale the interests of the residents in the brewery houses are fully protected.

I’ve been passed this week the following information from Roger Freeston who is the Director at Savills (the selling agents for Greene King).

Savills are shortly to be advertising some parts of the Kimberley Brewery for sale individually by private treaty. The particular properties comprise those on the east side of Station Road/Hardy Street, namely former garage buildings, together with offices and stores at the junction of Brewery Street and Hardy Street.

The railway cutting or the main Brewery site is not being offered for sale, neither are any of the houses. These will continue to be owned by Greene King, along with the bridge over Hardy Street and the offices either side.

Savills will however consider offers for other parts of the brewery.

A little more detail about what is being offered for sale is shown as follows:

1. Former Commercial Vehicle Garage, Brewery Street – 0.131 hectares, 0.325 acres – potential for other uses/redevelopment.
2. Former Commercial Vehicle Garage, Station Road – 0.079 hectares, 0.195 acres.
3. Former Garage and Boiler House, junction of Station Road and Brewery Street – 0.018 hectares, 0.044 acres – freehold commercial premises with forecourt and rear parking.
4. Former Wine and Spirit Dept Offices, Cellars, Workshop, Stores and potential land for development, Brewery Street & Hardy Street, Kimberley – 0.277 hectares, 0.685 acres – commercial suitable for alternation, renovation and conversion with a possible range of alternative uses.

I’ve been told that anyone interested in making an offer on anything mentioned above should contact Andrew Galloway: agalloway@savills.com – 0115 934 8112.

I have got paper copies of the sales if anyone would like them.

I’ll be back with a full update in October, unless any other major news materialises before then, but if anyone has any questions regarding Greene King, or anything else, do get in touch.
Richard
