The council says the decision will reduce costs and make the site safe and secure.
A former care home which has been a target for anti-social behaviour is to be demolished at a cost of £175,000.
The closure went ahead, despite 5,900 people signing an online petition opposing the move, after NHS funding was ended and the building was put on the market but failed to sell. A report to the council's finance and performance policy committee said: "Previous attempts have been made to re-purpose the site, however the condition of the building and its apparent attraction of anti-social behaviour has made this difficult, therefore a decision was taken to demolish the building."
