PROTECTING COMMUNITY ASSETS CONSULTATION

Consultation: Protecting Community Assets

Do you cherish your church, do you love your library, or are you maybe just partial to your pub? From 21 May to 11 September the Welsh Government is running a consultation to gather your views on how we can protect our community assets across Wales. This is your chance to tell us how we can help you have a say in how the local facilities that are important to you are run.

If you care about your community assets and would like to take part in the consultation then please read the full consultation document which provides extra information. Then answer the five questions included in it. You can access the information by clicking here:
