The land swap is off between Babergh District Council and McCarthy & Stone as they have sold the site by the bus station to a local company. This means that Belle Vue House cannot be sold, demolished or redeveloped unless the issue returns to the Strategy committee at the Council.
The site by the bus station could potentially give Sudbury new shops, cinema or other community facilities in the future. If this site had been lost to a McCarthy & Stone retirement flats development any new retail would have had to go to the edge of town in competition with the town centre. So lets hope the new purchaser has good ideas for the area which is vital to our town's economic vitality in the future.
As for the BMX site, apparently talks are still ongoing but I hear that Suffolk Highways may not want the second entrance onto Cornard Rd. This road would take some of the Park by the toilets(see previous post) and would really change the nature of the Park.
