Government support for community owned assets

End-of-day debate on a single topic

This adjournment debate, sponsored by Anneliese Dodds MP (Labour Co-op member for Oxford East), focuses on government support for community-owned assets. Community ownership models—such as cooperative enterprises, community interest companies, and social enterprises—allow local groups to control and benefit from shared resources. The debate will examine what financial support, policy frameworks, and incentives the government should provide to help communities acquire and maintain assets like community centres, shops, pubs, land, and services.

Community-owned assets strengthen local resilience, support economic activity at grassroots level, and can help disadvantaged areas retain control over essential services and resources. This matters to constituencies where communities face declining high streets, loss of public facilities, or economic disinvestment. Labour's co-operative tradition makes this a priority alignment issue.
