The Old Lilian Baylis site is the former school site which sits in the middle of the Ethelred Estate.
After cancelling the proposed sell-off of the site in 2006, Labour allowed the Sports Action Zone to use the facilities and develop a community sports programme.
Last year, this evolved into the Black Prince Trust, a community trust to which the Council gave a lease for the sports pitches and gyms on the site. They plan an exciting transformation to create first class sports facilities.
The listed school buildings on the Lollard Street side of the site have now been sold to developer Henley Homes. They plan a residential-led development with 40% affordable housing.
You can find out more about the future of the site, and meet the new owners, at an open day on Saturday 31 March, from 10am to 3pm.
