Community Councils
Have just been reading about attempts by residents in London Fields and Queens Park to set up community councils.
<http://londonfieldscouncil.org.uk/?page_id=21>;
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/davehillblog/2011/may/09/london-s-first-community-council-could-be-created-in-westminster>;
Apparently law changes in 2007 made it legal to set up community councils (effectively an urban version of parish councils) in London for the first time.
Anybody got any views on whether this sort of thing would work in Stroud Green /FP area?
Could help to give a voice to the community and area as a whole - helping to overcome the the fragmentation / neglect which results from being located across the periphery of three different boroughs.
Please feel free to correct me if this is a stupid idea - I know absolutely nothing about governance / the mechanisms of governance!
