Asset Management Policy

The Asset Management Policy is designed to make sure the property asset management strategy is reflected in the business decisions of all parts of the organisation (Officers, Senior managers, Councillors, Cabinet, Public, Leader of Council etc)

The purpose of the policy is:

  • To plan and manage property as a corporate resource for the benefit of the people of Bolton
  • To provide the right property, of good standard, in the right place, to meet current and future service needs
  • To manage and maintain property effectively, efficiently and sustainably, whilst optimising financial return and commercial opportunities from the rationalisation and disposal of land and buildings.
  • To use land and buildings to stimulate development and growth, together with supporting local business needs and encouraging new business to the area
  • To promote collaborative working where it can provide benefit for service delivery, whilst securing efficiencies and value for money.
