Have your say on future of former school
By Sarah Wood | 29th October 2024
Gloucestershire County Council wants to hear views on the future of Winchcombe Old Boys School.
The building in Gretton Road has been empty for some time, but the county council is now looking for ideas for its future. All options are under consideration, including bringing it back into use or disposing of the site.
To start the process, interested parties are invited to a drop-in at the Old Boys School on Wednesday, November 13 from 3pm to 5pm, where staff from the county council will be on hand to answer questions.

Information about the property will be on display at the event, including its relationship with other buildings on the site, including the sports centre.
No decisions on the future of the building have yet been made and there are no plans at any stage of development.
The county council has declared the site surplus to its own service requirements, so these matters will not be up for discussion on the day.
Cllr Lynden Stowe, cabinet member for finance and property, said: "We want to hear the views of the community on the future use of Winchcombe Old Boys School. It has been empty for some time and is surplus to our requirements, so we would like residents and other interested parties to share their thoughts on its future. All options are up for consideration, so I would encourage anyone with an interest in the site to attend the drop-in event, where you can find out more and contribute ideas."
Cllr David Gray, local county councillor for Winchcombe, said: "The Old Boys School occupies a prominent site in Winchcombe, but has been out of use for a number of years.
"The building is complicated and in poor condition. Anyone taking it on will need to resolve a number of logistical and commercial questions, including how to share access and facilities with the popular sports centre to the rear of the site. Hopefully interested members of the public can come along to our engagement event to learn more about the site and help us to identify practical ideas for the future of this building."
A webpage providing further information will be available from November 14.
