This is why there's a man living in Foleshill Community Centre

A decision is expected to be made on the centre's future next month



A final decision is expected to be made on the future of Foleshill Community Centre next month - but until then the centre has an unusual tenant.

While a group is found to take over the running of the centre, a man is living there.

As strange as it sounds, the man has been allowed to live there to ensure that the property is secure and maintained until a tenant is found.

A sign on the main entrance to the building reveals that a guardian is occupying the property, ending rumours that a squatter was living in the property.

Coventry City Council subsequently confirmed this to CoventryLive, revealing that an agreement is also in place for termination, when the property is let.

Located at 757 Foleshill Road , the building served the local community for a number of years, before it closed in March 2015.

The Community Centre was previously managed by the Foleshill Community Association, from the late 1950s.

Little is known about the centre prior to this, though it is believed that it was given to Coventry City Council to run by the Americans during the Second World War.

In March 2015, the Community Association handed responsibility of the centre back to the council following their decision to wind up the Association.

The council then began picking up the maintenance and security costs of the building.

At this time, the council claim that the centre was only being used for 11 hours a week.

As a result, the council declared the centre to be "not economically viable".

You would of thought the CCC would of let some one homeless to live there to look after it.
