Closed Government not to change rules on councils selling community assets

Closed on

There have been news reports that there may be rules changes regarding the ability of councils to sell off community assets. We believe this must not happen. We think this would be short-sighted and detrimental to the public and local government.

We believe that after decades of neoliberalism and privatisation it’s clear to see that selling off assets for short-term cash hurts communities in the long-term. We believe we need to protect our public services and make sure they’re safeguarded for future generations to enjoy as we have.
