The report sets out the background to the community asset transfer policy and the issues that have arisen from its application in its current form, most recently through the children’s services transformation. Revisions to the policy are proposed to improve the process for all parties in future, to provide greater clarity when we are working with community organisations interested in taking on council buildings.
