Introduction

Our new eco friendly building at Stirling Road

Our Estates Service deals with all aspects of our property management including commercial lettings, acquisitions and disposals.  In these difficult economic conditions, we're doing everything we can to help our existing tenants with a host of useful measures and are willing to negotiate with new tenants to help them start up or downsize.  Please contact us to talk about your needs.  If you'd like to know more about our strategic approach to property management please read our Background information about our Service.

Asset Management Plan

The Asset Management Plan sets out to optimise the Council's land and building assets to achieve our corporate goals and objectives and is a vital tool in resource planning.

Asset Management raises awareness of resources invested in the Council's assets and ensures they are used, maintained and developed appropriately.

The Plan comprises 2 interacting components - Strategic Asset Management and Operational Asset Management.

With Strategic Asset Management, the focus is on medium to long term asset investment linked to customer and service delivery requirements.  Benefits of this part of the Plan include the release of capital for re-investment or debt reduction, better public service with co-location of services and similar uses in the same property.

Operational Asset Management encompasses the management of fixed assets on a short to medium term basis and can be managed by individual services but the long term strategic use of assets remains a corporate responsibility.
