17 (17)  ASSETS OF COMMUNITY VALUE NOMINATIONS REGISTER UPDATE – The Director: Operations submitted a report updating the Cabinet Member on the progression of the Community Right to Bid process in North Lincolnshire.

The Community Right to Bid initiative allowed local community groups or town and parish councils to nominate buildings or land for listing as Assets of Community Value under the Community Right to Bid initiative.
