Those who follow our Twitter feed will know that at yesterday’s Economy and Environment Scrutiny Panel meeting, it was revealed that Liz Earle has pulled out of possible purchase of council-owned land in Ryde.
Readers will remember the news of potentially 500 new jobs being created as the council agreed ‘special purchaser status’ for Liz Earle to buy land next to Ryde Business Park.
At yesterday’s meeting Cllr Dave Knowles asked Strategic Director of Economy and Environment, Stuart Love, about the deal.
Mr Love confirmed that Liz Earle had pulled out of the deal and that the council would be seeking other opportunities for the land.
