Some authorities seem to be finding their feet on how they approach asset transfer - others have really yet to get going whilst many are still experiment or seeking some consistent approaches. It is of course not simply a question of what the officers have learnt and apply - it is also clearly shaped by politicians, overall and in wards. Indeed.

If a transfer requires a few meetings to sort it out, it does not help if the goalposts keep moving between meetings without explanation. There needs to be a commitment to clear consistent communication. Good points but I would also say that the authority’s consistency is also a big issue.
