Purpose

This new Community Right (sometimes called the
“Community Right to Buy” or “Community Right to
Bid”) allows defined community groups, including Parish
Councils, to ask the Council to list certain assets as being of
“community value”. This is designed to give communities
more opportunities to take control of the assets and facilities
important to them.
The process for the received nomination was completed and recorded
on the B&NES Council website.

Decision

The nomination of Mole Music Venue in Bath was
not successful.
Unfortunately, because the application we received for Moles to be
made an asset of community value didn’t meet the criteria
(which are set out in national legislation), it wasn’t
successful.
However, we have informed the nominating body that we remain open
to receive a new application.
