Rose Regeneration is holding a half-day workshop for Parish and Town Clerks, Chairs and Vice Chairs to explore the challenges and opportunities arising from the Localism Act. This free workshop will illuminate how the changes (which start to come into force in April) will affect Parish and Town Councils and demonstrate innovative ways of working that can be applied to your own neighbourhoods. The programme includes an overview of the Localism Act (led by Dr Gary Bosworth, University of Lincoln), what the Act means in practice and how it can work for you (facilitated by Penny Halewood, Rural Community Action Nottinghamshire) and insights into parish and community led plans (delivered by Colin Walker, East Riding of Yorkshire). The workshop will challenge delegates' preconceptions about what's possible and celebrate the power of councils to deliver local solutions for local people.                               

Sheffield has some of the most spectacular countryside in England, as well as farming communities, villages and market towns. With one-third lying in the Peak District National Park, the only UK city with a national park within its boundary, Sheffield's rural landscape adds something distinctive to its character. Rose Regeneration is working with Sheffield City Council to understand the relationship between the rural economy and the city, the implications of changing government policy and the opportunities and barriers to business investment and growth.
