Frank James: Council serve Urgent Works Notice on owners

The Friends of Frank James have been notified today that the Isle of Wight council have served an Urgent Works Notice on the owners of the former hospital.

The Notice states the council’s intentions to undertake works to secure the building and make it weathertight.

Help from CADO
They were told the council intends to undertake works (using grant monies given to the council from CADO – Community Assets In Difficult ownership) after the seven days minimum period of notice has passed.

This is a huge victory for the Friends of Frank James who have worked tirelessly for the last three years, tidying, securing and generally looking after this important piece of Isle of Wight heritage.

We expect there’ll be glasses-a-clinking in East Cowes tonight!
