People across Wales are encouraged to have their say on new plans to give communities more power over how local buildings and facilities are run.
The Welsh Government is considering developing a bespoke Welsh law to help communities bid for, own and run assets transferred from the public and private sectors, such as halls, churches, playing fields, pubs and post offices.
Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty, Lesley Griffiths, said: “When buildings and services which are working well and are important to the community are at risk of closure, we want to enable communities to take over ownership. This will not only ensure these key services continue, but also create jobs and skills opportunities for local people.
