Cornwall Council looks set to make a thumping loss on the former General Wolfe pub building in the centre of St Austell. The building which the council bought for £1-million around six years ago has now been put up for auction with a guide price of £150,000-plus. The council had bought the building with a view to providing temporary accommodation for homeless people via Conserv Facilities Ltd. However, because of various issues, the plan was never carried through and the building has become rundown. The former General Wolfe building is now listed for auction on May 7. Clive Emson Auctioneers say the building off Truro Road is arranged as 13 flats.
