    Page Aim

    Traditionally local democracy has been based on council elections and voters' access to council members.  More recently an area's stakeholders have also been able to speak at their local authorities' council and council committee meetings.

    Low voter turnout and other factors have led to Government attempts to re-engage local electorates through, eg, its modernisation and locality working programmes.

    The page will be a permanent record of sustainability and / or participation concerns raised with Coventry and Warwickshire's decision makers through these new processes: as well as their responses.  

    It will illustrate how communities everywhere can use decision making processes to lobby on S&P.

            Terminology

            Many process participants will agree that it's important for their organisations and their work to be 'sustainable', and may often use the word to bring a vague sense of social responsibility to their endeavours.

             It is, however, a common and dangerous misconception that the sum total of such sustainabilities can somehow address our global unsustainability: it spectacularly misses the significance of the "think global, act local" maxim.

            See the Glossary page.
