Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council now own both Sycamore House and Sycamore Hall on Drayton Road, Water Eaton in Bletchley.
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council now have ownership of Sycamore House and Sycamore Hall in Drayton Road, Water Eaton in Bletchley.
This comes as MK Council recently made the decision to transfer the freeholds of some local facilities to councils in order to give local organisations more power and generate revenue savings for Milton Keynes Council.
Sycamore House is a grade II listed building right at the centre of our parish and was originally a farmhouse.
It has much history and at one time was occupied by Bletchley Urban District Council, and the Greater London Council team that built the Lakes Estate.
Ownership of Sycamore House went into private hands in the 1980s with the neighbouring barn being turned into Sycamore Hall by Milton Keynes Council.
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council intend to vacate their offices at Bletchley Library and move officer teams into Sycamore House in early 2022.
Ethaniel Kelly-Wilson, Chair of Bletchley & Fenny Stratford Town Council said “We are beyond delighted to have a permanent home for the Town Council in Sycamore House and it is great to be able to reunite this building with Sycamore Hall, where we will be creating a community hub right at the centre of our community.
"It sits right at the heart of our community and many locals have strong connections to the building. We look forward to developing our new asset to provide more modern facilities and local services for future generations.”
