Grantham gone

Building sold

Posted - May 14, 2011

The Council has agreed to sell Grantham House, for a sum assumed to be well above £3 million, to a private developer who will refurbish the interior to bring it up to current standards. While this will not create any social housing on the site it will generate funds that can be used to support social housing elsewhere in Jericho, possibly on the canalside site.
