There is an intriguing reference in the Welsh Lib Dem manifesto which lists plans to introduce a ‘Community Right to Buy’. This initiative would “enable community organisations to register an interest in land or buildings that were designed for public use so that if the property comes up for sale they have first refusal, subject to a community ballot.”
It would be interesting to see how this idea might work in action in parts of Swansea where the Lib Dem-run council plans to sell off land at 13 school sites across the city. These have been identified as “available for potential disposal" in order to raise up to £12 million in capital receipts for one of Wales’ most maxed-out local authorities.
It is really is remarkable to see how the Welsh Liberal Democrats have managed to emulate Conservatives - who are past masters at conning the public into buying assets which they already own.
