All future community asset transfer (CAT) applications will be determined by councillors after a policy change was passed at Renfrewshire Council.
Elected members were given the option of sticking with the status quo, where decisions are made by officers in the first instance, or ruling that they themselves take on the remit of approving or refusing requests.
A CAT involves the responsibility for an asset transferring from the local authority to a community group or voluntary organisation.
