Range of material including plans for proposed new hall, passage and toilet block, adjoining the existing hall. Also notice of passing of building plans.Final cost statement. Includes letter from R. Clutton M.Sc., A.R.I.C.S., F.R.V.A., Stockgrove Park, Nr. Leighton Buzzard to T.J. Lawson asking the Scout group to consider relocating and offering £120,000 for the site subject to contract on the basis of five acres of developable land. Lancer Boss' Solicitors are also interested in purchasing the property but are proceeding with caution as they are "fully aware that some idiot here blundered previously, and this time we are not going to make the same mistake." The Scout group do not wish to sell as they regard the group's tradition is linked to the site and there is a "very strong anti-Lancer Boss element among some of the members."(735)
