Save our spaces

Locality’s campaign to save our public buildings and spaces.
For all of us.
Forever.

Support at a national level also gives us more backbone – we are part of a wider picture through the Locality network.

Across the country, communities are using important local buildings and spaces to transform the areas where they live.

Community ownership can unleash the power of community

It creates genuine community control, strengthens the local economy, supports community-led regeneration and transforms local services.

But Britain’s public building and spaces are under threat of being sold off for private use and profit.

We’re calling for a funding pot to help local community groups step-in to save public buildings and spaces for everyone through community ownership.

Read our places & spaces report to find out more about why community ownership matters to us all.

Places & Spaces – The future of community asset ownership

England’s public land and buildings are at risk of being lost forever unless urgent action is taken to protect them. Our ‘Places & Spaces – The future of community asset ownership’ report calls for a £1bn fund to save the nation’s public assets to prevent our most iconic community buildings from being lost for good.
