A historic social club in Stapleford has been placed on the market with a view to potentially developing the land for housing. The club, which was purpose-built in the 1930s, sits on the corner of Moorbridge Lane and New Road.
"There are fewer people looking to rent the space out and it's quite dated internally so could do with a refit. The only income the trustees got from it was when they let the property out but because it's falling into disrepair, there is less demand. They have had a small grant from the local authority which has literally kept it ticking over and insured with heating but that's about it," he explained.
"We've had a number of people look at the building so far including property developers looking to demolish it and build a number of residential houses on the site which will help with the local housing shortage. We've also had people looking at it to use it for storage facilities or to run small businesses in," he said.
"The building is just sitting there at the moment which is of no use to anyone. We should also say thank you to the people who have actually donated their time and ran it over the years too because that is important."
