New approach will give local people more power
Community organisations can take control of council-owned facilities as part of a move to empower and support local people.
We have launched a new way of working with communities to give them more control over the facilities in their area.
The new policy, called Community Asset Transfer, will allow community organisations to manage and run community centres, village halls, playgrounds and other local assets.
Communities are encouraged to come forward and bid for assets which they can then manage.
The policy will help community groups use EHDC assets to meet the needs local people.
