Shropshire Council has run Acton Scott Working Farm for the past 47 years but says it can no longer afford to do so.
Shropshire Council will no longer run the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm.
Shropshire Council held a public consultation on its future and the recommendation to surrender the lease was approved at the council’s cabinet meeting on December 14.A statement from the council said:"The settlement allows the owners to invest in the essential infrastructure improvements required to support endeavours to open a new historic attraction."
“The decision to surrender the lease, which still has 16 years left to run, has been reached after many months of deliberation and negotiation with the estate and we are pleased, having explored many options, to have reached a mutually satisfactory conclusion. “It is likely that an application will be made to the Charity Commission to establish a not-for-profit organisation to run the attraction, and the support of the many people who have valued their experience at Acton Scott will be essential for its long-term success.
