Update

The representations received raised concerns about selling the Common Good land at Low Boreland, highlighting that the area is valued as a local amenity, is regularly used by residents, and should be treated fairly and transparently. 

Respondents also questioned why valuation information was not available, stressed the need for openness in the decision‑making process and asked the council to ensure consistency with past decisions. 

Some also suggested that the council should fully explore alternative options - including planning potential and different configurations of the land - to make sure the community achieves best value before any disposal is considered.
