With the introduction of the Localism Act, your Conservative Administration has created a new cabinet position aimed specifically at promoting public engagement and participation, and encouraging the creation of the ’Big Society’ locally.
Community leaders are already responding with enthusiasm, contributing ideas and support on a wide range of issues, leading to new initiatives in partnership with your Conservative led Council.
More decisions will continue to be shared between the Council and residents, with public consultations on planning applications, new sports facilities, public open spaces and the rejuvenation of Poole’s High Streets.
This is only the beginning. Poole’s Conservatives will look to continue to introduce much closer partnerships between the Council and the local community over the next few years.
