Community Assets Transfer

Post date: Feb 13, 2012 3:24:55 PM

Milton Keynes Council is consulting on the possible transfer of a number of its assets to other organisations. This will include a number of community centres and other buildings currently used by different faith groups for worship and other meetings. The change in ownership may affect access to and the rent levels charged for use of these premises in the future. It is important, therefore, that faith groups that may be affected by the proposed changes engage with the consultation process. Follow this link to the Community Assets consultation page on the Council's website. Here you will find a outline of what is proposed and why. There are also links to two documents - one outlining the assets that are being considered for transfer and the other detailing a series of public consultation meetings across the borough -  http://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/mkcouncil/displayarticle.asp?id=83809 . The Council of Faiths will be discussing this issue at its April meeting. If you have any concerns about how these proposals might affect your group please contact us.
