West Linton Village Centre Trust have applied, through Part 5 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015, for a ten year lease of the Village Centre.
We asked what you thought of their proposal.
Nine people responded to us either using the online consultation form or by email.
A copy of the comments received is available on the SBC website.
Your comments will be considered by the Asset Transfer Officer Group when deciding whether to agree or decline the request. The deadline for making this decision is 21 March 2023.
We asked for your comments on what we might be missing from the Council's Common Good register.
You gave us some useful information about the history of some of our local land and collections, some of which had not been considered by the Council before.
We took your comments and investigated those areas of land and pieces of art or collections to ascertain whether they should properly be categorised as Common Good. We then discussed those findings with each Common Good Fund Sub-Committee and prepared final registers for each town. Following Council approval, these registers will be published on the Council’s website where they can be viewed.
