Dear Sir/madam

Request for Information

I refer again to your e-mail of 22 February 2022 seeking a list of Council
Assets and Assets sold by the Council since 2000.

Having investigated, my response to your two enquiries is as follows:

 1. I can advise that the information you seek is publicly available on
the Council’s website and as you may know, Section 25 of the Freedom
of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 provides an absolute exemption for
information that is already accessible.  For ease of reference the
link to this information is as follows:-

 2. I can advise that the information you seek is publicly available from
the Registers of Scotland and as you may know, Section 25 of the
Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 provides an absolute
exemption for information that is already accessible.  For ease of
reference the link to the Registers of Scotland website is as
follows:-

With regards to Community Asset Transfer (CAT). CAT applications are
governed by the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015. This has been
an evolving process as full implementation of the act has been gradual
with the publication of subsequent supporting regulations and guidance.
There are a number of cases that the council has dealt with as CAT
requests but they do not all necessarily qualify as CATs in terms of the
legislation.

All CATs are now reported to committee, and the information is already
available on the council’s website via the links noted below

Former Glenboig Community Centre:

I can advise that North Lanarkshire Council, having regard to the
provisions of Section 21 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act
2002, has established a procedure whereby any person who has requested
information and is in any way dissatisfied with the decision on that
request, can within forty working days require a review of that decision
by writing to the Head of Legal and Democratic Solutions, Civic Centre,
Windmillhill Street, Motherwell ML1 1AB.  Accordingly, if you are
dissatisfied with this decision and seek such review please write to the
Head of Legal and Democratic Solutions.

I would advise, also, that in terms of Section 47 of the Act a person who
is dissatisfied with a notice given by the local authority under Section
21 of the Act - ie. a notice following a review of a decision by a local
authority, or by the failure of a local authority to give such a notice -
may make application to the Scottish Information Commissioner for a
decision as to whether, in any respect specified in that application, the
request for information to which the requirement relates has been dealt
with in accordance with the Act.  Such an application must be made within
six months of the review decision and be in writing or in another form
which, by reason of it having some permanency is capable of being used for
subsequent reference. The application must state the name of the
applicant, and provide an address for correspondence. The application must
also specify the request for information to which the requirement for
review relates, the matter which gave rise to the applicant’s
dissatisfaction with the original decision of the local authority and the
matter which gives rise to the applicant’s dissatisfaction with the
decision on review by the local authority or the failure of the local
authority to issue such a decision.  The Scottish Information Commissioner
can be contacted as follows:-

Appeals to the Scottish Information Commissioner can also be made online

I hope this information is sufficient for your purpose.  If, however, you
require further information – or I can assist in any other way – please
let me know.

Yours sincerely
