Update to the Community Asset Transfer policy,
as well as introducing a Community Leasing policy. These policies
define how, where appropriate, the Council can devolve assets to
local VCS groups at less than best consideration in recognition of
the social value generated by those groups.

Consultation process
A survey launched through LetsTalk. The
planned consultation period will be a 4 week period through the
month of February. We are working with Engagement colleagues to
design the survey. We plan on utilising the networks of our
infrastructure partners (OCVA and CFO) in order to share the survey
to as many VCS groups as possible.
Consultees
We will consult with local VCS groups, as they
are the ones who would be eligible to apply for through the new
policy.
