The Panel would appreciate your views on: a. What went well? b. What was most challenging? c. What risks and barriers did you face? How did you overcome or mitigate them? d. What guidance, advice and support were you given? Including in relation to funding and applying for grants? e. What have been the main community benefits to the transfer you have found since? f. Have there been any particular disadvantages or challenges found since the transfer? g. What consultation did you (or was) carried out with regard to the transfer? h. Do you think the asset transfer process could be improved, if so, how?

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
Declarations are read from the minutes once they are published.
