We asked
We asked if you supported the proposed sale of the former Alyth Museum building to Alyth Youth Partnership.
The former Alyth Museum building at 14 Commercial Street, Alyth is a common good property owned by Perth and Kinross Council and held on the Alyth Common Good Fund. It has been vacant since the museum was permanently closed by Culture Perth and Kinross in September 2025, and the Council has declared the building to be surplus to its property requirements.
Alyth Youth Partnership (AYP), a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, is a community-run, voluntary youth organisation that aims to provide safe and enjoyable activities for the young people of Alyth and the surrounding area, encourages them to be a positive part of the Alyth community, and supports them to make positive choices for their futures.
While AYP is based in the Alyth Community Wing on Albert Street, they identified a requirement for a separate, dedicated base for teenagers. They accordingly worked up a proposal to lease the former museum building from the Council so they can operate it as a youth centre and community resource, on the following terms, namely:
- the proposed start date is the end of March 2026 or such other date as may be agreed following submission of a report to the Alyth Common Good Fund Committee.
- the Tenant shall pay a rent of £1 per annum, if asked.
- the initial lease duration will be twenty-five years.
- the Tenant will use the former museum for the purposes of a community youth hub for social, educational and recreational purposes and associated support activities.
- the Tenant will require to obtain all necessary statutory consents in connection with the proposed use.
- the Tenant will be responsible for all repairs to the leased subjects and buildings insurance.
- on other normal commercial terms.
The Council was supportive of this proposal, subject to approval from the Alyth Common Good Fund Committee. Officers consider that this proposal would have a strong positive impact on the community by providing facilities including youth clubs, school holiday programmes, individual support and employability sessions, an information point and community resource. AYP’s proposal includes undertaking refurbishment and adaptation works to make the building fully suited to their intended use.
The proposed lease gave AYP the option to purchase the building, subject to separate approval from the Alyth Common Good Fund Committee. A further public consultation exercise would be carried out if AYP apply to purchase the building from the Council in the future.
