Publisher's Synopsis
This report examines what legal mechanisms exist for involving residents across all tenures in having a say in how their neighbourhood is run. A practical and easy-to-read guide, it looks at seven case studies from around the country to: · explore how each neighbourhood involves residents in governance against a set of key indices; · evaluate the different legal models used; · identify key principles in establishing a mechanism for involvement that works. The authors are practising lawyers with years of experience in setting up and advising organisations involved in community governance. This report is therefore highly relevant to the area of neighbourhood management.
