New plans have been published by the UK Government to give local residents more say in decisions affecting their lives, as part of a wider strategy to strengthen communities and introduce participatory democracy. These are long overdue: we know 14 million people are locked in poverty and a daily struggle to make ends meet, which is simply unacceptable. We also know this problem persists because people on low incomes are overlooked and marginalised.
