Community Assets
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to review legislation on Assets of Community Value.
Answered by Alex Norris
Community spaces have a significant role to play in developing social networks, encouraging community participation, and promoting civic pride. The Assets of Community Value scheme in England provides communities with a route to protect cherished community assets, furthering social wellbeing and the interests of the community.
As part of the Government's commitment to introduce a new Community Right to Buy in the English Devolution Bill, we will consider what associated changes need to be made to the existing Assets of Community Value legislation.
