Rationale

What could a People's Council do for Easton?

Protect what's already good

• Create a neighbourhood plan to protect community centres and public spaces from big developers.
• Support existing community organisations to keep doing amazing work with grants.
• Represent the community officially to local police and health services.

Build the alternative

• Make decisions collectively through direct democracy (e.g. through neighbourhood assemblies).
• Set up cooperative businesses (e.g. energy coops) owned and controlled by us.
• Reclaim buildings for community use.
• Take back public services so they are closer to the people who use them.

+ much more...!

Who are you?

The idea was kick-started by a small but growing group of Easton locals who are inspired by the many examples of communities that have built power around the UK. It isn't backed by any organisations or funders. Please get in touch through the button at the bottom of the page.
