Last Friday an important document, The Hampshire Local Councils Partnership Framework (PDF), was signed between Hampshire County Council and Hampshire Association of Local Councils (which provides technical support to Parish & Town councils). This protocol establishes a framework for the relationship between the local councils, such as Kingsley Parish Council, and Hampshire County Council.
The title of this post, "Engage with training on the power of well-being", is one of the roles detailed to apply to the local councils.
According to Councillor Ken Thornber, “As Hampshire moves forward to support the Government’s ‘Big Society’ it is vital that we continue to empower local communities and listen to their views to ensure that their interests and needs are taken on board when we develop policies and services. The new Partnership Framework complements this important approach and one which we are also already embracing through the collaborative work of the Hampshire Senate.”
It is nice to see our elected representatives catering for the needs of minorities in our society, in this case those whose first language is Bollocks. I shall not be moving anywhere or anything, except perhaps my bowels, to support the Government's "Big Society", which is nothing more than abrogating their responsibility to care for the less fortunate residents. Mask it with gibberish all you like.
