Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: September 3, 2024

Purpose:

Content: The Committee agreed the recommendations with the report and made the following comments to the Officer Review Group: a)    It would be helpful to know who triggers a lease renewal – was it the Council or the group? b)    In terms of the new lease rolling programme, it would be helpful to know if this would this be applicable for existing asset transfer groups, c)    It was interesting to note the differing public views, d)    It would be helpful to know if the 6 Areas within Aberdeenshire were dealing with Asset Transfers in a consistent manner, albeit the feeling from some Members was that we need to be good at what we do, not the same at what we do, e)    While some Members questioned whether we need to consider whether we can justify best value at £1 per annum, others felt that this was appropriate within the legislation and in public interests, and f)      We need to ensure that there is an effective use of all assets, realising the community’s part in that too.
