This report recommends the adoption of an updated Community Asset Transfer Policy to be applied if the Council decides to discontinue its use of certain buildings and land. This policy directly supports Wirral’s Community Wealth Building Strategy by encouraging the setup of community-based organisations and cooperatives in our local communities, and underpins our ambition to enable communities to become more independent, financially self-sufficient and take ownership of public assets to run them in ways that are beneficial to them It supports the Wirral Plan 2021-2026 which seeks to bring about safe, vibrant communities where people want to live and raise their families. It has implications for those wards which contain assets that may be declared surplus as a result of 2022/23 budget setting.
