Community Right to Bid

Carlisle City Council has developed a new approach to consideration of Community Right to Bid nominations. We encourage nominations that are positively seeking to support community assets and where groups are actively looking to take over assets and run them. The new approach includes a nomination form for community groups to submit applications to help ensure the Council has as much information as possible about a nomination. This assists the Council greatly in being able to determine the community value of an asset.

Our Community Asset Register provides details of successfully and un-successfully nominated assets. For more information please see our Community Rights page.

The Community Right to Bid was introduced through the Localism Act 2011. It enables voluntary and community organisations to nominate local land or buildings to be included in lists of community assets held by local authorities. In the event of a proposed sale, a process will be triggered that allows a community interest group to express an interest in bidding to purchase the property.
