46. We sought views on: Principles How the council and citizens should work together What would encourage citizens to be part of the cooperative council

47. We found: Local state needs to support and enable; not just ‘do’ Local people need a strong voice in the design of services/activities Local state should encourage communities to secure services/activities Local state needs to invest in the infrastructure to make this happen Public services should be accessible

48. What we have learnt: Managing risk Practical issues around governance, citizen engagement and accountability Harnessing the energies and assets of communities Building capacity HR, IT and procurement become enabling not just regulatory functions
