MANAGEMENT of Croft Youth Centre could be handed over to local people, under a proposal put forward by Warrington Borough Council.
The borough has suggested making the centre the subject of a Community Asset Transfer.
This would mean responsibility for the centre would be handed over to the youth centre committee on a fixed term lease – to by run by the local community for the local community.
The borough has offered to visit the village to make a presentation on how such a transfer would work.
This could take place at a parish council meeting, to which members of the youth centre committee would be invited.
Similar transfers have already taken place in other parts of the borough including Lymm, where the Lymm Youth and Community Centre was handed over on a 30-year lease.
A secure lease enables the volunteer Youth and Community Association to apply for grants to improve the facility.
At Croft, volunteers from the youth centre committee have already carried out improvements to the building.
