Act Local in Worcestershire

"Act Local in Worcestershire" is the new name for Think Local in Worcestershire, which we renamed following feedback from consultations.  We feel it better reflects Worcestershire County Council’s vision of localism.

All references, therefore, to Act Local or "Act Local in Worcestershire" either here or anywhere else, are references to "Think Local in Worcestershire".

Community Right to Challenge

The Community Right to Challenge is a national process introduced through The Localism Act 2011. It makes it easier for voluntary or community groups, parish councils or council employees to bid to run local authority services.

Community Right to Bid

The Community Right to Bid is a national process introduced through the Localism Act 2011. It allows eligible groups the opportunity to identify and nominate buildings or land that are of value to the local community and to ask their local District Council to put them on a list of community assets. Once listed, if the owner decides to sell the asset, communities are given a 6 month window to prepare a bid to buy the asset on the open market.
