How does an asset qualify as common good? Full details are provided here : https://www.stirling.gov.uk/council-and-committees/about-the-council/common-good/administration-of-the-common-good-funds-by-stirling-council/

What does it mean to us?  The assets will still be owned and managed by Stirling Council but will be administered by the Civic Panel of Stirling Council.  There might be a suggestion that asset management is funded from the Common Good Fund, but the fund is only likely to contain additional cash when assets are disposed off.

Discussions are ongoing to clarify all of this, but the historic nature of the assets and legal complexities mean that these discussions will be challenging.
