Strong support for Community Powers Act event

Advocate Mark Lazarowicz said: “The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act introduces a powerful new right for community bodies to take over the ownership, or lease, many public assets.

“Depending on the extent to which a housing association or co-op is controlled by the local community, it might qualify as ‘community controlled’ body which can then ask for asset transfer from local authorities, health boards, the police, the Scottish Government, and many other public bodies.”
