Is anyone going to the Sustainable Communities Act meeting on Wed 15th April?

Dear All,

Does anyone have time to go to the "Sustainable Communities Act" meeting in Peckham on Wednesday 15th?  I was planning to go but it's looking like I will have to work on Wednesday night.  Can anyone else go???  Please let me know because if no one else can go then I may just about be able to squeeze the SCA meeting into my Wednesday evening but frankly it's unlikely.

Here are the details:

Hi fellow residents

see below information of a meeting in Peckham on Wed 15th April next week on important new legislation giving some powers to residents! We need to understand it to be able to make good use of it. Hope to see some of you there.

Meeting for Southwark residents on the Sustainable Communities Act organised by the Active Citizens Hub

Wed 15th April 2009
6pm - 8.30pm
Peckham Settlement, Goldsmith Road, SE15 Refreshments provided.

The Sustainable Communities Act is potentially a remarkable piece of legislation. It provides a valuable opportunity for citizens and councils to make proposals to the government which they consider would encourage the improvement of the economic, social or environmental well-being of local areas. It is an Act that could empower citizens and should give effect to argument that: 'citizens and councils are the experts on their own problems and the solutions to them'.

Southwark Council has opted into the Sustainable Communities Act, and now has to put forward proposals for the government to consider.

But what exactly does the Act mean for Southwark, what is the process for submitting proposals and what sort of proposals fit the criteria?

Come along to the meeting organized by the Active Citizens Hub, as part of the Take Part Programme, learn about the Act and put forward your ideas

6pm             Arrive/refreshments
6.30pm  Steve Shaw from Local Works on the Sustainable Communities Act - what it is, what it could do etc followed by questions and answers
7pm             Claire Webb from Southwark Council Corporate Strategy on
