Toby Young to occupy Askham Centre rent free?

Since our last posting about the council’s (alleged) plan to let “celebrity” Toby Young grab the Askham Centre for disadvantaged children and families and turn it into his new free school, we now hear that the council (allegedly) intends to charge Mr Young the grand and princely sum of precisely nothing, zilch, not a smackeroo for use of this prime piece of council real estate. 

This is one of those moments when it would be really great to be proved wrong. Perhaps someone from the council could deny it.
