Community Right to Bid

The Community Right to Bid allows local groups or charities to have priority when purchasing certain local assets, like pubs or shops, that are at risk of being sold. When an owner intends to sell such an asset, these community organizations are given a set period to express their interest and prepare a bid. The goal is to give communities a fair chance to keep valuable local resources alive and accessible, supporting local character and economy. This process encourages community involvement and helps prevent important local assets from falling into outside ownership.
