New report
A new Report published by the Office of the deputy Prime Minister is worth a read.
Communities Taking Control: Final Report of the Cross-sector Work Group on Community Ownership and Management of Assets
is a look at a range of issues relevant to local neighbourhoods and local authorities.
It recommends among other things:
The wide-ranging benefits of community management and ownership of assets, including how transfer of assets can help local authorities achieve their wider priorities;
and the creation of an Incentive Fund to support asset transfer.
It covers community buildings and open spaces, and clearly covers all the regulatory, management, financial and other issues relating to the transfer and management of assets.
You can download and read it in pdf (500kb file) here.
There will be consultation this year that our Parish Council may be interested in.
