Community Empowerment Act

The Community Empowerment Act 2015 is a UK law that aims to give local communities more power and control over their own lives and resources. It allows communities to influence decisions affecting them, take ownership of local assets, and improve service delivery. By promoting citizen participation, the Act encourages local groups to work together in addressing community needs and challenges. It strengthens the role of local councils, ensuring they listen to and engage with their communities effectively, fostering a more democratic and participative governance at the local level.
