  • BUILDING COMMUNITIES Parish and Town Councils in Unitary Northamptonshire
    Northamptonshire County Association of Local Councils BUILDING COMMUNITIES Parish and Town Councils in Unitary Northamptonshire 1 | Page Foreword by the Chairman of the National Association of Local Councils “Never doubt” said Margaret Mead, the US academic, “that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.” This rings so true when I think about how England’s 10,000 councils and 100,000 councillors are building stronger communities. And when I think of their potential to do so much more. Our unique place-based role – local government bodies yet grassroots community organisations – is rapidly changing. We are doing more and increasingly innovating, from health and wellbeing to transport, housing to local economy, community assets to cohesion. And we’re a growing sector with more and more councils being set up across the country in urban areas, new super districts and unitary authorities. That’s why I’m confident parish and town councils are well placed to help government, principal authorities and communities tackle the challenges the country faces. A new way of delivering public services, empowering and strengthening local communities. I am very pleased as the Chairman of the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) to commend this document and wish you all the best in achieving the ambitions set out. Its central tenets: relationships, partnerships, trust, and investment in capacity building are key to fulfilling the sector’s potential: in Northamptonshire and across the country. NALC will watch with interest how you get on and share the lessons with others across England - to ignite and unleash the power of our communities to change not just themselves but the world too.
