BUILDINGS and playing fields needed by communities in Hyndburn are to be noted on a special list.
Hyndburn Council is drafting a list of community assets as part of new government plans to protect community resources.
The scheme would make sites and properties easier for communities to retain, regardless of public or private ownership.
Places on the list could not be sold without a public notice and waiting period. Any assets on the list put up for sale will trigger a moratorium period. This allows time for the local community to raise funds and prepare a bid for the asset.
