Assets of Community Value
We are engaged in registering our first Asset of Community Value in Hammersmith – the Anglesea Arms in Wingate Rd, W6.
Registration does not prevent an Asset from closing down or changing hands, but the community is informed of any proposed sale and has an opportunity to buy the Asset. Even if a purchase is not practical, registration prevents a sudden sale from under the community nose.
The owner of the Asset is informed of the registration and is thus aware of the value placed on it by local residents. If you have been a patron of the Anglesea Arms you can help register it with a supporting letter. Please contact me and see this guidance for more details.
Reminder from Rosemary’s last newsletter : There is a suggestion from the Council that registering the building as an Asset of Community Value would provide an additional level of protection. Rosemary Pettit is currently assembling this application
