Participation and Representation

The story so far...

The direction of travel for much of the Government's current policy is towards devolving decision making power to local people. This localisation agenda is set out in the Community Empowerment white paper,
Communities in control - Real people, real power.

LIOs and the third sector have a vital role to play in giving a voice to under-represented groups and in representing community interest.
