The future of a building formerly used by a charity that went bust will be debated next week.

Greenwich councillors will meet to discuss early plans for the Margaret McMillan Field Centre in Wrotham , Kent, following the fallout with Wide Horizons earlier this year.

The charity appealed for £200,000 immediate funding to rescue it from going bankrupt, claiming the council said it would provide the cash before U-turning at the last minute.

It came just a few months after both Lewisham and Greenwich councils agreed to provide a £700k loan.

The Margaret McMillan Field Centre was leased by the then newly-created Wide Horizons from Greenwich Council in July 2005.

Councillors are being asked to think of “short, medium and long” term uses for the centre, according to council documents.

A report explains: “Although the provision of outdoor education was transferred to the Wide Horizons Outdoor Education Trust, together with the lease of the Margaret McMillan Field Centre, the council remains the corporate trustee of the centre, which continues to own the freehold of Margaret McMillan House.

“Trustees should consider identify their short, medium and long-term expectations in respect of the Field Study Centre so that officers can develop options for future consideration.”

A number of potential operators have already approached the council to use the site,  but as it is still liquidating Wide Horizons is not yet in a position to give the property back.

Wide Horizons accused the council of time-wasting and U-turning at the last minute when a war of words broke out in July.

Chief executive Peter Rogers said at the time: “It’s tragic really. The council took not to provide the loan, having known for four months that we would have to close without it.

“We are bitterly disappointed as they had implied that they would support us.”

In response, Greenwich Council leader Dan Thorpe said it was not in the public interest to support a charity that could not manage its finances.
