Power of General Competence
• An alternative approach would to set up a new local voluntary organisation to ‘host’ services. It is possible to set up either a Community Interest Company (CIC) or Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with Town or Parish support to operate services.
• There are many examples of voluntary organisations operating local services within Cornwall, e.g. Saltash Gateway CIC runs a number of services and is in the process of agreeing to take on a new building through Cornwall Council’s devolution process. (See http://www.communityenterprisespl12.co.uk/)
• Some existing voluntary organisations may be interested in helping Town and Parish Councils to explore these ideas
