Long Lease Unlikely for Foodbank

Warminster Town Council is set to continue leasing Dewey House to the town’s Foodbank for a further year. Councillors will meet to approve the recommendation next Monday. The future of the community facility within the building is unlikely to be confirmed beyond twelve months due to uncertainty over the CCTV control room which shares Dewey House. The council is aiming to move the CCTV operation out of the older council offices and into The Hub in the Central Car Park. This move would raise the prospect of Warminster Town Council selling Dewey House, a likely cause of reluctance to enter a long lease with the Foodbank. If approved, rent for the Foodbank will be maintained at £600 for the next year.
