Re: Sustainable Communities

welcome alan - a civil servant knows about us? does this mean we're
completely coopted or that we have an ally in the civil service? and
as you say.....where's the dosh. advice is cheap (at least from the
voluntary sector). and where are the mammouth bail outs, available to
their chums but not to communities bearing the brunt of the collapse

Hello,

I have been directed to your group by a civil servant working for Iain
Wright MP ( I would rather have had the money).

I am responsible to an organisation called ViRSA ( check out their web
site) for assisting communities to set up and run their own shop, but
only in villages. There is an equal need in town and citiy communities

John Shiers, Dave Hannay + Jan Booker (Community North West) and I are
meeting on Thursday to discuss setting up a regional meeting of/for NCIA.
If we can find a convenient date, can you and/or Andy join us ? Perhaps you
could give me some dates in November (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays only)

And on cue the Liberal Democrats declare their commitment to the autonomy of

I think all politicians are in essence self serving self loving egotists.

That does not mean however, that we cannot work with them but there needs to be 'meat' on the bones of any discussions with them about the future of the sector.

At the moment all I see from central government is more and more being downloaded to local Government with no real pledge to the so called third sector(the demise of the learning and skills council being a case in point).

In an obvious bid as a Topsy-Turvyist to protect the integrity of
Topsy-Turvyism, which aspires to turn the world upside down, I don't reckon
Cameron and the Tories are in any sense topsy-turvy.
The dilemma for us and for them is that all the parties accept the
neo-liberal agenda, but need to try to differentiate themselves from one
