Community Rights give local people and groups more control over amenities, services and proposed developments that affect their lives.
Community Right to Build and neighbourhood planning were introduced in April, 2012.
Two more rights:
- Community Right to Challenge – which will give communities the right to challenge and take over local council services, and
- Community Right to Bid – which will give communities the right to “bid to buy” and take over the running of local assets
are expected to come into force by the end of July.
