The Government is not obliged to keep a list of assets which have been accepted as being of community value; this is the responsibility of the relevant local authority in England. However we know that over 1,500 assets have been listed including pubs (over 500), museums, parks and green spaces, post offices and village shops and an iconic cold war era control tower at Greenham Common. More information can be found at www.gov.uk/government/news/milestone-reached-as-community-rights-uses-hit-3000.

The Welsh Government has not implemented the provisions of the Localism Act 2011 and there are no assets of community value listed in Wales.
