Nottingham City Council plans to sell a piece of land behind the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Science Park building to the University of Nottingham. The price of the land is being kept secret, with council officials arguing that revealing details would compromise sensitive information.
A tucked away piece of Nottingham land will be offered to one of the city's universities - but its price is being kept a secret. Nottingham City Council has decided to sell a plot of land off Fellows Way, which sits behind the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Science Park building, to the south of University Boulevard.
The document explained other options had been considered for the land, but that selling it could produce a "potentially significant" windfall for the cash-strapped authority. Officials said the land had been identified as something the authority could sell as part of its plan to improve its dire financial situation, which resulted in government commissioners being called in earlier this year.
