Mole valley Council say they’re still optimistic they’ll be able to provide a new community hub for North Leatherhead despite the latest setback.
The council had been bidding to buy the Trinity centre site, but they heard last week that their bid had been turned down by the owners, the Diocese of Guildford.
The council says a new hub would encourage people to take part in leisure, cultural and educational activities.
The news comes barely a week after Surrey County Council announced it was closing the local Trinity Children’s centre.
