The Community Right to Bid

The Community Right to Bid is a policy in the UK that allows local communities to identify and nominate buildings or land that are important to them, such as pubs, shops, or community centers, as "assets of community value." If the owner decides to sell, communities are given a period to prepare a bid to purchase the asset, allowing them a chance to keep it for public use rather than it being sold off for private development. This initiative aims to empower communities and preserve local heritage and facilities.
