Localism Summit Quotes

“just writing to thank you for holding the Localism Summit.

It was a great day and the presentations were excellent. It was informative and provided a platform for collaboration, sharing of ideas and networking with other parishes/town councils. It is important that the Community network panels are used to further this experience. We look forward to the next event” Cllr Darren Willcocks MRICS Vice Chairman St Gluvias Parish Council

Localism Summit questions

Given the findings of LOCALITY’s research, how can parishes and Cornwall Council work together to maximise their ability to provide services to our residents. Please consider:

• 1. How can the findings of the LOCALITY research be used to

enhance the community leadership role of your council?

• 2. How much capacity is there within your councils to unlock

the expertise and enthusiasm of your communities?

• 3. What would you require from Cornwall Council, CALC or the

Voluntary sector to realise the ambitions of your councils?
