The council don't have a choice when it comes to selling land or anything else for that matter .

If the land under question and if true is independently valued at £25 million then the council cannot accept a penny less or they face sanctions and legal proceedings by central government .

This is the use of public assets and very different to private ownership where you can sell at whatever price you choose .
