Council bosses have raised \u00a3881,000 following the sale of three pieces of land\/buildings in West Leeds.<\/p>\n

According to the Pugh Auctions website, the council\u2019s sale of Abbey Lodge and depot on Morris Lane, Kirkstall raised \u00a3475,000<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Lodge is a residential property, off Morris Lane, which has been vacant for several years. Outbuildings have been used more recently by Parks and Countryside staff.<\/p>\n

The former Hollybush Children\u2019s Centre in Broad Lane, Bramley, was also sold for \u00a3346,000<\/a>. It was one of six unused centres de-registered by Leeds City Council as part of a review of early years provision last year.<\/p>\n

Land at Cragside Walk in Hawksworth Wood, which was earmarked for residential use, was sold for \u00a360,000. More details of the auction can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The council says the building sales will raise money following underfunding from central government since 2010 and the rising costs of some services, such as adult social care.<\/p>\n

WLD reported last week<\/a> that the council had chosen a preferred bidder for the sale of Pudsey Town Hall.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Leeds, Otley Cemetery Lodge, in Pool Road, was sold for \u00a3225,000<\/a> and an acre of land at the junction of Holtdale Approach and Otley Old Road in Tinshill went for \u00a3585,000<\/a>. The auction of Gipton South Children\u2019s Centre building was postponed.<\/p>\n
