Material uncertainty over going concern
The directors have hived up the assets and trade of the company up into the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, the immediate parent undertaking, on 01/04/2025. The assets and liabilities will be transferred at book value. Accordingly, the directors do not consider it appropriate to apply the going concern basis and these accounts have been prepared on an alternative basis of accounting.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
