The Borough and Bankside area has a history of local governance dating back to The Liberty of the Clink in the Middle Ages. We believe the next chapter of this tradition lies in creating a neighbourhood council, the first tier of local government.
A neighbourhood council (NC) would confer three main
benefits:
1) Residents would have a greater voice in the development of the
local area. The NC would have to be consulted on all planning
applications.
2) The NC could raise and spend money on local issues that concern residents. It could fund youth projects, crime reduction measures and transport schemes.
3) The NC could take responsibility for delivering improved local services to residents. It could run parks, leisure facilities and community centres.
Join us in our campaign to ensure local people have greater powers
and influence over local issues!
