Register of Common Good Property

What do we want to know?: 

Part 8 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 aims to "increase transparency about Common Good assets and community involvement in decisions taken about their identification, use and disposal".

The Act places new duties on the council in relation to common good property:-

  • Section 102 of the Act places a duty on the council to establish and maintain, after consultation, a register of property which is held by it as part of the common good.
  • Section 104 imposes the requirement for public consultation before the disposal or change of use of a common good property.

Statutory guidance (https://www.gov.scot/publications/community-empowerment-common-good-property-guidance-local-authorities/) published by the Scottish Government sets out the procedure for establishing the register, and for subsequent consultations on the use or disposal of common good land.

We have published our draft Register and would like your comments on the register, for example, to suggest that a property should be removed or added.
