Under the terms of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015, every Local Authority in Scotland is duty bound to prepare and publish a comprehensive register of all Common Good assets within their ownership.
Common Good Common good assets are the heritable (land and buildings) and moveable (paintings, furniture, etc.) property that belonged to the former Burghs of Scotland. Common Good assets are owned by the local authority, although administered separately from other local authority funds for accounting purposes.
More detailed guidance (opens in new tab) has been made available by the Scottish Land Commission, as to what constitutes Common Good.
Prior to the production of the final Common Good register, Perth and Kinross Council are required under Section 102(2) of the 2015 Act, to release a provisional list of all Common Good assets which it holds.
You can take a look at a draft map of our assets here (opens in new tab) or take a look at our draft register here (opens in new tab) or in the window below.
We are looking for feedback on whether you consider our draft register is accurate, or whether you feel that there are other assets that should be considered.
The information you provide will be used by Perth & Kinross Council to assist with the assessment of the integrity of the Common Good Register it intends to publish.
Personal information you provide, such as your name, may be used in a report to the Council, or one of its committees. Any report which is prepared may be accessible by the public. Your contact details will not appear in a report; they will be retained for a period of 12 months following the end of the consultation period before being deleted.
Your information will not be disclosed to third parties except as described above or if we are required to do so by law. The Council may check information provided by you with other information held by us, or by a third party, if it is necessary to do so for the purposes of preparing the Common Good Register .
