The Grade II listed Ancient Priors, which has stood in the High Street since c1450, has been mostly empty since previous tenants ASK fell foul of the financial cost of the pandemic.
During a meeting of the full council on Wednesday (July 19), it was agreed to use capital funding to pay for repairs to the building, which was described as being in ‘a poor condition’.
Leader Michael Jones said: “That work is needed to keep the building maintained in good order and, when it’s done, it may also make a big difference in us being able to attract a new retail tenant into the building.”
