What happens to the existing institutions of our local political system? How can neighbourhood level decisions be achieved and have legitimacy? for today ...but How will neighbourhood management bodies be established and who is accountable? How can we help secure a strong mandate for our clients? Who are our (new) clients? so many more questions! How will Councils and the Government deal with neighbourhood decisions if they differ from local and national level decisions? What are neighbourhood level issues? What are strategic level issues? How will the overlap be managed?
