More power for local communities?

29 June 2011

The Localism Bill"Don't throw away the chance to give a greater say to local people," is the message to MPs around the country.

The message is part of a campaign that the WEA is part of called the Real Power for Communities campaign. Its aim is to lobby MPs to make sure that a new parliamentary Bill will give more say and influence to people over local matters.

The campaign aims to make sure that the government's Localism Bill really does benefit local communities around the country, just as the Government has promised.

A new Real Power for Communities website has been set up. If you are interested in local politics or think that local communities need a greater say and influence in local services, why not visit the site and sign up to the campaign.

The wesbite features regular updates on the progress of the bill and offers support material for people wanting to get involved.
