GENERATOR is in discussion with it's landlord, the City Council about moving properties. Through these discussions it has come to our attention that there is uncertainty around the future of Mid Wynd Industrial Estate. GENERATORprojects is currently leased on a monthly-rolling tenancy and this cannot be changed due to a planning application being approved to demolish Mid Wynd & possibly 're-home' the current tenants into newly built industrial units in the West End locale. No date has been set for this, and there are no foreseeable plans in the immediate term for this to happen. It is understood, however, GENERATOR will have to move from Mid Wynd at some point: no more investment from the council will be made into the units and there is an explicitly stated economic advantage for the council to sell the land.
New premises are being sought from the council in the meantime with the goal of finding a long term sustainable solution for our building situation sooner rather than later. We hope the GENERATORmembers alongside the committee will be active in these discussions with the council. If you have any thoughts on what are essential aspects to GENERATORprojects, what facilities or resources are important, please let us know. If you feel we should take the council's possible offer of being 're-homed' in alternative industrial units & simply continue being at Mid Wynd in its current state rather than seek out currently available properties ( or any solution in between) please contact us via mail@generatorprojects.co.uk, to raise your thoughts before the AGM. The property situation will be discussed at the AGM in more detail & depth.
