eGov monitor |: "The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) has welcomed the Local Government White Paper, and its proposals to devolve power to local communities, which it claims represents an important step towards 'bottom up' policy making.

Stuart Etherington, Chief Executive of NCVO said:

‘We have long been talking about the need to transform local government and its relationship with the communities it serves. Allowing people to become more involved, through devolved decision making represents a significant step towards reducing the local democratic deficit and engaging with people.’"
