As per the recommendation.

            The Director of Environment introduced the Policy for the transfer of assets for community use and explained that the Council was currently undertaking a review of assets through an ongoing rationalisation programme as part of the Assets work stream within the Flintshire Futures programme.

            The Leader of the Council welcomed the Policy which he said would assist in supporting social enterprise and community groups. 

            Councillor R.C. Bithell thanked the Director of Environment for the report which addressed a Notice of Motion that Councillor A. Woolley had submitted to County Council on 25 September, 2012.  He said that the Policy would allow community groups to carry out their own repairs and maintenance to ensure Council buildings remained an asset to the community.

            In response to comments on providing advice to community groups, the Leader of the Council confirmed that work would continue to review how advice was provided to all community groups in Flintshire.  

RESOLVED:

That the report and Policy for the transfer of assets for Community Use, attached in Appendix A, be supported.
