Communities and neighbourhoods

---

Summary

This document sets out the government's commitment to unlocking the talents, not of some of the people, but of all of the people and seeks views on the ways to make changes which give people locally more influence, control and ownership of local services such as employment, health, education and transport.

It contains four sections:

• improving deprived areas through regeneration and promoting work and enterprise
• encouraging active citizenship, and reviving civic society and local democracy
• improving local public services by involving local users and consumers
• strengthening local accountability

We welcome your thoughts on these areas and your feedback will help shape future policy.
