Important announcement

Unforeseen operational resource challenges over the weekend mean that our food waste collection service is suspended today, Monday 3 November.

If your food waste bin was due to be emptied today, please take in your bin and present on the next collection day, Monday 10 November.

Green bin collections in a small number of streets in the Lenzie, Kirkintilloch and Bearsden area are also affected. If your green bin has not been emptied today, please leave it on the kerbside for collection tomorrow, Tuesday 4 November.

Our teams will be working hard to minimise the impact, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

  • Subject:

    Closing Date for Offers – Lenzie Public Hall, Lenzie

  • Responsible Officer:

    Graeme Lynn, Estates & Facilities Manager, Assets & Facilities

  • Publication:

    This Technical Note will be published on the Council’s website following circulation to Members. Its contents may be disclosed or shared out with the Council.

  • The purpose of this Technical Note is to advise Elected Members of an extension to the closing date for offers in relation to Lenzie Public Hall, Lenzie
  • Officers instigated the marketing of Lenzie Public Hall for lease, sale or through a Community Asset Transfer request with the condition of continued community use in April 2025 with an initial closing date set for offers as at 25 August 2025
  • Two local Community Groups have undertaken viewings of the Public Hall earlier in the year with a view to working up a business case to include within any offer. There was a request from the Community Groups in August to extend the closing date for offers to allow more time to review the technical information officers provided in relation to the condition of the building, including surveys and reports
  • Officers agreed to extend the closing date to 21 November 2025, with all interested parties notified of the extension
  • Officers have been approached again by the two groups requesting a further extension to closing date while further work is undertaken to ensure any offer is compliant and consider in full the suite of technical information which has been issued on request
  • To assist the local community groups with their submission the closing date for offers will be extended to 30 January 2026 with all offers received reported to Council for consideration on 2 April 2026. This will give officers sufficient time to fully evaluate any offers and request clarification from any bidders in advance of Council.
