When two or more community trusts want to join together, they must tell the public about their plan. You need to know that the public notice must mention the right to ask for a meeting under section 387 and the right to ask for a poll under section 388. The plan must include the names of the first trustees of the new trust and the trust deed of the new community trust.

The trust deed is a document that says how the trust will work. The names of the first trustees are important because they will be in charge of the new trust. The public notice is a way for the community trusts to inform you about their plan to join together.

The community trusts must follow the rules when they give public notice of their plan. You can find more information about the rules in the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. The Act says how community trusts can join together and what they must do to inform the public.
