Runwell Hospital -Contract to Demolish! -March, 2012

For those who may be interested.....

http://www.government-online.net/demolition-contract-essex/

According to this Article, demolition would commence in April, 2012 (unless the whole thing's an "April Fools!!!")

Looks like the one Listed Building will be retained (St. Luke's Chapel), with other "Heritage" buildings saved from the bulldozers too (guessing this could include the Administration Building & perhaps the Water Tower?)

Seems rather odd (or over-confident), that the HCA / Government are pressing ahead with demolishing the Hospital Buildings, despite being nowhere near the stage for submitting a Planning Application, let alone being granted Planning Permission!

Cheers for the update! I'm not sure what the current legislation is regards to derelict buildings and rates? Could it be the HCA still have to pay?

They are the Goverment, they **** every one over and do what they want.
