This webinar, led by Nick Gardham, Lachlan Ayles, and Ian Merrill from Humanity Project explores the finding of a new report they have written on neighbourhood governance.
During the webinar you will hear from the authors of the report alongside practitioners who have been organising assemblies over the past two years as part of Humanity Project. There will be an opportunity to discuss the implications of the report, opportunity to ask questions and clear pathways to advocating for Neighbourhood Assemblies where you live.
Co-produced by organisers across the network, it sets out a practical model for how assemblies could build genuine community power and deepen democratic participation at the neighbourhood level.
The launch comes in the context of the Government’s call for local authorities to secure “effective neighbourhood governance” within the EDCE Act. While several proposals are currently being discussed, our report argues that the scale of the challenges facing communities demands more ambitious approaches to devolving power and decision-making.
