Enabling Communities
Local Government’s Role in the Big Society
The four contributors to this month’s Localis Policy Platform offer their views on how local authorities can support the process of community empowerment which lies at the core of the Big Society. Leaders of London Borough Councils from both sides of the political divide, a Project Manager at the Big Society Network and the Chief Executive of the Community Development Foundation all write in support of some form of Big Society. They agree that local government has an important role to play in bolstering communities and individuals in the myriad interactions that will be necessary if the Big Society is to be a success.
