The Community Right to Bid is one of the community rights derived from the Localism Act 2012. The Right provides for voluntary and community organisations with a local connection to nominate asset (land and buildings) for inclusion on a list of community assets. Should a listed asset come up for sale, voluntary and community organisations will have a chance to delay a sale by up to six months in order to prepare a bid to buy the asset.
In response to a nomination received in response to the Community Right to Bid from the Newboult Road Allotment Association, the Area Committee has considered the information provided in Section 3 of the report and agreed that the Newboult Road Allotment Site (‘the Asset’) be listed as an asset of Community Value. The Area Committee determined that the Asset’s main use (i.e. not ancillary) has recently been or is presently being used to further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community and could reasonably do so in the future i.e. within the next five years.
