Community Asset Planning

Transferring assets and/or their management to communities from public bodies now has firm Government backing, following the Quirk Review. Community asset management, and particularly ownership, helps neighbourhoods become sustainable, giving communities a real stake in where they live and strengthening their role in negotiations with other stakeholders.

Our recent experience includes:

 community facilities audits 
 community centre feasibility studies and business planning 
 strategic option appraisals for underused community facilities 
 business planning the incorporation of replacement community facilities into a new private sector-led district centre/neighbourhood hub
