Background:

 

This report provided details of a proposal to declare 54 Northcote Road, Strood, surplus. The report stated that design work on a scheme to realign the A228 Cuxton Road under the Darnley Arch Rail Bridge at the junction of Cuxton Road, Darnley Road, Northcote Road and Priory Road was underway and that it was possible that the scheme would involve undertaking works within the boundary of 54 Northcote Road. It was anticipated that work on the scheme would commence in the Spring/Summer 2014 with completion by the end of the year.  Once the scheme had been completed the property would be declared surplus and sold.
