How can we protect our much-loved community assets in this devolved new world? Access to secure funding will always be a key part of it. The Bill is a key opportunity to ensure that town and parish councils can access a simplified funding pipeline at a time when community assets most need protection. Smaller councils have not had ready access to Government growth funds such as the community renewal fund, the levelling-up fund, the towns fund, the UK shared prosperity fund or the community ownership fund. There is no clear replacement now.
