Conservatives have launched a public consultation to give residents, resident groups, local businesses and organisations a chance to comment on what they would like to see as the future shape of Bath Governance. Rural areas have Parish Councils which are being given a greater say in how they wish to influence their communities and areas. Localism and Neighbourhood planning are key Government initiatives to get people more engaged and shape communities how they see fit. The challenge for Bath City is finding ways for more community involvement in Governance without tax payers having to stump up the growing burden of cost.
You can comment on a few possible options or suggest your own ideas on this on-line survey which can be found at www.bathconservativesurveys.com
