Published by Communities Secretary Hazel Blears the White Paper will seek to address issues around lack of power and influence giving citizens and communities more rights and more power through:
" more information and greater influence over the local decisions that affect them;
" new means of holding politicians and councils to account; and,
" where they choose, more opportunity to get directly involved in managing and shaping how local services are delivered.
