Purpose

To list the Queens College Arms, Pamber End as an Asset of Community Value

Decision

To add the Queens College Arms, Pamber End to the Council’s list of Assets of
Community Value.

Reasons for the decision

The nomination of Queens
College Arms meets the criteria to be listed as an Asset of
Community Value under the legislation relating to Community Right
to Bid, in that:

The nominating
organisation (Pamber Parish Council) is
a qualifying nominator with a local connection under Section
89(2)(b) of the Localism Act.
The asset is an
important community hub within the town, which offers a wide range
of opportunities for social interaction and community engagement
that help to increase wellbeing and community cohesion and is
valued by local residents as well as
those from further afield.
It is realistic to think that there can
continue to be non-ancillary use of the Asset that would further
(whether or not in the same way as
before) the social wellbeing or social interests of the local
community. 

 

Alternative options considered

None – the nomination meets the criteria to be listed as
an Asset of Community Value
