Neighbourhoods on the move - "What's in the white paper?" 22-24 January 2007
Trainers Partners in Change

The Government has now published its plans to reshape local government. It says it amounts to 'a new settlement between central government, local government and citizens' with stronger council leadership and more say for communities. There are changes in how councils are run, and steps to strengthen citizen involvement in decisions, with new opportunities for empowered community bodies ' Tenant Management Organisations, parish councils and community groups'

So what are these changes and how can community and neighbourhood groups prepare to make the most of them?

This course will
· Explain all the changes promised in the white paper
· Give you a chance to ask questions, especially about neighbourhood and tenant management and how the changes might give new powers to these groups
· Consider how and why to set up or develop a front-line council often called a parish council but now to have an enhanced role to go with the new name
· Point you in the right direction to get more support in future. This is a big subject. The course will be tailored to meet the needs of participants. Make sure you tell us what you are looking for and we will try to give you the answers to your questions.
