Asset Transfer Request - Maud Area Office

We asked

The charity Bairnecessities Baby Bank submitted an Asset Transfer request to take ownership of the former Area Office building and surrounding land in the village of Maud. The proposal was to refurbish the building as a base for the charity and a hub for other organisations offering services to families and children. The charity required better storage facilities for the donated equipment they provide, to enable them to help more families and reduce waste. The community were asked for their views on whether they supported or objected to the proposal.
