The Executive approved the adoption of the Community Asset Transfer Policy, asset out in Appendix 1 to the report, incorporating the updated wording to page 7. subparagraph 6 as set out in the Supplementary Information Sheet.
Reason(s):
· The Council did not currently have a policy on the transfer of assets to community groups.
· To deliver community objectives.
Other options considered and rejected by the Executive:
Do nothing – Do not adopt the policy. This would not address having a consistent decision-making process and community groups and Council officers would not have a clear procedure to follow if a group wished to submit an expression of interest
Details of any conflict of interest declared by the Leader or lead councillors and any dispensation granted:
None.
