Community Anchors:

• encourage people from different cultural and economic classes to get to know one another, united in concern for the locality they inhabit
• ensure great participation in decision-making about local affairs
• practise community-led solutions to social problems
• bridge the interests and aspirations of local people and governing bodies
• liberate the power and resources of local people
• develop resilient community spirit
• support individuals to fulfil their dreams
  

A People’s Plan | Grassroots Consultation

We hope you’ll also be interested to take part in our Southgate Locality Survey. It’s been developed in consultation with Southgate residents and will contribute directly to the agenda for the Anchor project. Ideas raised in it will be fed into the initial meetings and overall project. If you’re interested to receive a copy, please contact me at the address below.
