Town councillors have criticised what they described as a lack of consultation over a vision to dispose of part of Sudbury s iconic Belle Vue Park.
Sudbury Town Council held extraordinary meeting on Monday to discuss Babergh District Council s plans to dispose of Belle Vue House and much of the former swimming pool site in the park.
The site is currently being marketed, with bids set to be reviewed in the new year.
An advert announcing the site s sale suggested that, subject to planning conditions, the area could be used for offices, residential properties, a hotel or more.

Part of the Belle Vue site in Sudbury - including Belle Vue House - could be sold off as plans move forward for a redevelopment.
Babergh District Council has announced its intentions to dispose of part of the land associated with the site.
The area in question includes the old Belle Vue House and the majority of the former swimming pool.
In total, around one acre of the site is set to be sold off.
In a public notice announcing its intentions, the council said that it would be looking to dispose of the site by way of sale of freehold or the grant of a lease land .
