New ‘Local democracy’ page on website

A new page containing more detailed reports on legislation that’s relevant to CCs and similar matters has been started. You’ll find it here. Unfortunately WordPress doesn’t allow more than one blog-style page per website, so articles are differentiated by colour.

Just now there are articles on the Commission on Strengthening Local Democracy and on the Community Empowerment Bill. The latter is about giving new powers to Community Councils – please check it out!
