Special Feature: What Can Happen When Community Groups Transform Under Used Public Assets?

Community organisations are now being invited to submit Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for four Sefton facilities as part of the Council's Community Assets Process.

Opportunities are available for:

• the former Ainsdale Library building and the next-door former public toilet block;
• Hesketh Park Conservatory in Southport;
• the operation of the Community Kitchen at Cambridge Road Adult Education Centre in Seaforth, Waterloo;
• a single, former public toilet block at Duke Street Park in Formby.
  

Sefton Council’s Community Assets Process is designed to bring valued buildings and spaces with untapped potential into community-focused use for the benefit of local people. It enables community groups, charities and social enterprises to lease Council-owned buildings and land and use them to deliver activities, services and initiatives that benefit residents.

We want to hear innovative, sustainable proposals that can unlock the potential of these assets and help them thrive for years to come.
