The Friends of Kensal Rise Library have announced on their website that they have been informed that the owner of Kensal Rise Library (Andrew Gillick) has notified Brent Council that he intends to dispose of the building LINK
The FKRL assure supporters that the D1 space, set aside for community use, is protected in any disposal by the owner because All Souls College retains control and disposal includes the 'encumbrance' of the Planning Committee's decision. Any new owner who wanted to change that decision would have to submit a new planning application.

Any Community Interest Group can potentially submit a bid – as FKRL has for the D1 space.
FKRL remain committed to establishing a library and community space in the building and is prepared to work with whoever is the owner of the building.
There is no further news on the police investigation into the alleged submission of fake emails in support of Andrew Gillick's original planning application.

In theory, could FKRL now bid to buy the entire building?
Looks like FKRL or anyone else could put themselves forward to buy or rent whole or part of the building according to this. Don't know if FKRL have the money for either as surely it would go to the highest bidder.
What a complete joke.
The community are forced to buy back a building that belonged to the community in the first place !
Capitalism at its best with FKRL taken for a ride.
What amazes me is that FKRL want community to oppose the redevelopment of a redundant shop on College Rd into flats, but agreed and supported the planning application for the library into flats.
Supporting the redevelopment of the library into flats makes it far easier for planning officers to accept other redevelopments in the area. Any refusal could now be easily challenged on appeal.
FKRL have opened the floodgates for more development applications.
