WORK on preparing a detailed business plan has begun as part of the bid by Kingsteignton town council to ­take over the redundant community resource centre.

Town councillors are anxious to move ahead with their proposal to take over the building and grounds off Greenhill Way as a community asset from owner Devon County Council.

Already the empty building is starting to run into disrepair with several broken windows, but a recent parish poll came out in favour of the town council attempting to gain control of the site for the community.
