Message from the TSL Chair about the Health and Well-being Board PDF Print E-mail

Some time ago I was invited to join Lancashire's Health and Well-Being Board to represent the third sector.

I want to let you know that I see this position as a conduit between you and the Board.

I intend to communicate with all our third sector partners regularly (but briefly!) to let you know how the work of the Board is progressing, and, most importantly, to seek your views so that I can genuinely represent you.

Today Eric Pickles threatened legislation to force councils  to give more scope to voluntary and community groups.

He was addressing the national conference of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations.

As Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, he has 'reasonable expectations' that councils will maintain their support for the sector, give us  opportunity to contract, and enable us to take over community assets. And,if need be, he'll use the law to ensure it happens.

Commented Mike Wedgeworth  Chair of Third Sector Lancashire " We are not in the threats  business, but we do expect local authorities to work with us to  ensure what we deliver can be  maintained and grow"
