| Description | Grant file containing correspondence, minutes, draft reports, reports, discussion papers and replies of policy papers relating to the Association for Neighbourhood Councils (ANC). Funding source(s): Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust. Applicant overview: The ANC is an advocate for the concept of neighbourhood councils. The neighbourhood council is independent from local and national government and is designed to give voice to ordinary people who may not be heard in the halls of power and to ensure that policy makers hear these voices. This action in turn leads to a sense of community, community empowerment and self-help. Neighbourhood councils can undertake a vast range of activities from cleaning up vandalism to operating day care centres to inputs into urban planning. The ANC was created in 1970 to research and campaign for the application of neighbourhood council structures in the UK. Nature of support: No grant was made. Minutes: No minutes cited. Notes: This file primarily contains reports and consultation papers on the neighbourhood council concept. Financial support for the ANC is covered in other files in this series. File organised from newest to oldest. File numbered 'EA/7/19'. |
