Croydon Council has overspent this year by £35 million and is seeking a government bailout.

It has been told to sell assets.

Top of the list is Fairfield Hall, a world-class venue for orchestral concerts.

No bids in yet.

The hall has been horrendously mismanaged in recent years. Search slippedisc.com for the backstory.

UPDATE: The Executive Mayor of Croydon has written below, insisting the hall is not for sale. However, the Govenment has made the sale of assets a condition of its bailout. Croydon is no longer in a position to determine the hall’s future.
