Breckland Council’s sale of the Barnham Broom golf club freehold was not, by any sensible financial measure, profitable, despite what was implied in . The council said they bought the asset for £7 million in 2006 and sold it in 2025 for £6.9 million. Already that sounds like a loss. The reality is worse. Let’s start with the purchase price. For years, the council has quoted £7 million. But that’s just the sale price, not the full cost to taxpayers.
