Community Right to Bid

Under the 2011 Localism Act, community groups and parish councils can ask the council to list certain buildings or land that they believe are important to their community’s social wellbeing or social interests.

If these assets come up for sale, there is then a six-month window to allow the community to prepare a funding bid before the property comes on the open market.

Find out more on the Community Right to Bid from the My Community Rights website and view the Assets of Community Value information on the Legislation website.

The current list of registered assets/Assets of Community Value within the borough can be found below, along with the list of assets which were deemed unsuitable for listing and were therefore rejected:
