A lot has happened since the last posting. Cheshire West and Chester Council held their LSP Network Conference, which was a useful way to involve lots of different groups in the process, although a lack of detail below the "headline" priorities caused a little confusion. This was followed by the finalising of the DVD for the Rural Touring Arts Network engagement with youth project (launch date is now 29th September). The very next day saw the fledgling Cheshire West and Chester Community Engagement Strategy begin its journey, with and excellent cross section of folk discussing - at length - some agreed definitions and path to follow, at least in the early days.

This week began with an excellent meeting at Trafford Hall planning the use of the PB Unit to showcase some Local (Town and Parish) Councils implementing Participatory Budgeting.

At least August is looking a little quieter...

Then again, with the Quality Forum and the end of the month and LFC back in proper action on 16th, doubtless there will be plenty to do then also.
