Selling unused homes could help charities make ”efficiency gains”
Making full use of property assets could help those working for public sector bodies to manage through the economic downturn.
Such is the assertion of 4ps - a project delivery specialist for the local government sector - which reports that selling old or unused buildings could help councils to generate a significant amount of income.
The money raised - it was stated - could help local councils to improve their capacity to deliver regeneration projects, in news that could assist authorities wishing to maintain sustainable efficiencies.
Andrew Rowson, director for housing and property for 4ps, said: "As local authorities face increased pressure to deliver first class services and efficiency gains during the economic downturn, using their property assets could help provide very effective solutions."
Figures from 4ps showed more than £105 million was generated by councils in 2007-08, through selling developments which were no longer used.
Last month, a new government review was launched aimed at helping local authorities to improve their delivery of services and how they interact with residents.
