I think the Member is right to raise the issue of asset transfer and community ownership. I think what we’re trying to do as a Government is enable communities to be able to take things over and to understand the risks as well, because many of these organisations that are moving from public ownership to community ownership are sometimes very difficult to run financially and physically. It’s something that I’ve asked my team to work with the Wales Council for Volutary Action on to see if there’s a programme that we can use to help communities become more resilient in that space.
