Burton Manor
THE Government has approved the sale of Grade II- listed former adult education centre, in Wirral, which closed after racking up debts of £1.6m.
Liverpool Council spent £284,000 subsidising Burton Manor, in Neston, last year, even though only 158 adult students from the city were taught at the college, which offers residential courses.
It closed at the end of March, after the council told governors it was cutting its budget by 25% in 2011 and a further 25% the year after.
But the council needed government approval before it could sell the Grade II-listed building which comes with extensive grounds.
Business Secretary Vince Cable has now authorised the sale, and Liverpool council hopes to sell it privately or by auction.
Talks are being held with the University of Chester in a bid to continue the educational use of the building. The building was originally owned by Henry Neville Gladstone, third son of former Prime Minister William Gladstone.
Burton Manor opened in 1948 and offered courses ranging from photography to literature, music and dance, at evenings and on residential weekends.
Its establishment involved a number of public authorities, including Birkenhead, Wallasey, Bootle, Cheshire, Lancashire, the University of Liverpool and Liverpool Council.
