Option 1 - Agree to the disposal of the Civic Centre/Barracks to the Isle of Wight NHS for the provision of a community hub with the final details of the disposal to be agreed by the director of regeneration in consultation with the cabinet member. 

The Council had been approached by the NHS to purchase the freehold of the currently unused Barrack Block at Sandown Civic Centre, with funding from NHSE & I to provide a community health hub for the Bay area. Some council services would continue to operate from there with e ‘One Public Service’ approach. Members very much welcomed the investment into the building and were pleased to see it being brought back into use.

The Corporate Scrutiny Committee had noted the report.
