As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Attridge introduced the report on Community Asset Transfers (CATs), explaining that to date the scheme had been successful so far in sustaining a number of community assets and providing significant savings to the Council. 

If the areas for improvement identified in the report were addressed then it was anticipated that the number of CATs that could be completed in the next 12 months could be up to 26.  These potentially included Holywell Leisure Centre, Hope Library, Saltney Library which as well as protecting the assets could save the Council over £0.350m in revenue per annum.

A number of policy principles and areas for improvement were detailed in the report.  

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the progress of the revised Community Asset Transfer Scheme be noted;

(b)       That the additional policy principles for Community Asset Transfers identified in the report which have come through learning in the first 15 months be agreed; and

(c)       That the areas for improvement identified in the report that need to be worked upon over the next 12 months be agreed.
