Urchfont sell-off completed
Urchfont Manor has been sold cheaply to a private developer. The community asset previously owned by Wiltshire taxpayers was virtually given away by the cash-strapped council's Conservative administration. In their announcement of the sale the Conservatives focus on the possible retention of the woodland and cricket ground for community use, which has appeased local opinion and deflected any possible adverse reaction from a compliant local press.
