A question about how to save a ruined building??

[Bee]

Hello, basically I am really concerned about a property on my commute to work and in the town where I grew up. I'm sure its a 1920s bungalow and just recently its fallen into disrepair from what I can see from the road. The roof has almost completely gone.

I hate to see buildings in this state. Somebody must own it. It would make a lovely house if it was given some TLC - I wish I had the money myself!...

The building next to it is for sale so maybe its part of that sale lot but even so I'd be quite worried that whoever bought next door would just knock it down and I'm sure there must be some sort of historic value to it??

So I was just wondering if anyone knows of any societies or action groups who would be able to step in and save it??

Cheers

For anyone local - its in Stroud, Gloucestershire on Dudbridge Hill by the Antiques Centre building which is for sale. Hopefully I am allowed to give out these details??.... Sorry if not.

If it's for sale through an agent some of the information you want should be in the 'details'.
Is there any chance of stopping during your next commute and taking a photograph (to post here, of course)?

Yes that shouldn't be a problem...!

Sadly, I doubt that, unless it is up for sale and someone wants to buy it, there's much which anyone can do. If it's detrimental to the visual amenity of the area the local authority can take some action, but it's not a simple process.

Unless it's of some architectural interest there are far too many in a similar state which are listed to fight for. It's probably going to be demolished for a large block of flats of dubious merit.
