Learn your 3 R’s
One of the lessons learnt from the early land reform legislation was that simply establishing a Community Right to Buy was not in itself sufficient to ensure communities would avail themselves of their new legal rights. These opportunities needed to be promoted widely and support and encouragement offered to help communities take advantage of it. It’s one of the reasons that we now have COSS – established by DTAS to help both communities and public bodies negotiate the asset transfer maze. Anyone even thinking about embarking on the asset transfer journey should get along to the 3 R’s Roadshow.
New Rights, New Resources and Revenues
This series of five, one day events across Scotland, will cover the 3Rs that everyone involved in taking on an asset needs to think about. What New Rights do we have as communities? What New Resources are out there to help us in terms of funding? And, how will we bring in some Revenue to keep the asset sustainable?
Aimed primarily at community groups thinking about, or having newly taken on, an asset, this event is Free to attend. Maximum 2 members per group. Staff from Relevant Authorities may want to attend and are welcome to sign up. Priority will however be given to community groups.
