Investment, Assets & Employment Cabinet Member – Minutes – 28 September 2017

4 (4) 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.

The responsibility for deciding whether to list a building or land as an Asset of Community Value was delegated to council officers, subject to consultation with the Cabinet Member.

For a local group to successfully nominate an asset it would have to show that:

• it was based within the local authority area (or a neighbouring authority); and
• it was a group that was qualified to make a nomination.

Listed assets must either improve, or had recently improved, the community’s social wellbeing or social interest.  They must also be likely of doing so in the future.

The Nominations Register set out the progress made for each nomination from the date it was received through to the appeal deadline, as applicable.  The Nominations Register was appended to the report.

Resolved – That the latest information held within the Nominations Register be noted and approved.
