| Annotation | Seven key issues are considered in the White Paper (Cm 7427), which this document summarises: individual citizens being active in the community; providing more access to information; having an influence through participatory budgets and voting; challenge; redress when things go wrong; standing for office; and ownership and control. One paragraph (35) notes the importance of older people in being able to shape local services and the review of older people's engagement with government. A link to the main White Paper is also available on the DCLG website (http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/communi... (RH). |
