More evidence that councils can’t be trusted with public assets: the Henry Moore sculpture that he sold to Tower Hamlets at a knock down price on condition it was displayed in a poor area: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/outrage-as-tower-hamlets-votes-to-sell-20m-henry-moore-sculpture-8297200.html

In reply to Joe Turner (@thejoeturner).Joe,Thanks for the comment. But if a public body doesn't want a building, they can dispose of it (at cost price plus uprating by increase in earnings, which is fair reflection of productivity increases) to a body which is willing to act as a steward and use them for a public purpose. The problem is that when community assets get sold, they usually stop being community assets. It's a form of privatisation/asset-stripping.Andrew

Not sure that logic really works, otherwise public bodies would always have to hold onto assets – even when they’re costing money to keep going. Buildings cannot really be compared to ancient monuments, national parks or the commons.
