Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made in reviewing the Assets of Community Value scheme.

Since 2012 Community groups across England have made use of the Community Right to Bid legislation with more than 4,000 local assets listed as Assets of Community Value. The legislation attempts to balance the wishes of the community with the rights of owners. We continue to listen to feedback from all partners (communities, owners and local authorities) and continue to keep the scheme under review.
