The question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answers to questions S6W-15878 and S6W-15879 by Lorna Slater on 24 March 2023, what steps it is taking to identify, support and advance potential community purchases of land and to encourage alternative models of ownership in the areas covered by the Memorandum of Understanding.
The answer
The partnership is actively exploring alternative models of ownership with the Scottish Land Commission and has already held two workshops to explore these opportunities. In addition, existing routes to community ownership remain open across the whole of Scotland, not just in this area, through Asset Transfer Request and Community Rights to Buy. The Scottish Government also continues to support community ownership through the Scottish Land Fund, which will be doubled to £20m by 2026.
