Lambeth aims to become Britain's first Co-operative Council
Lambeth Council last week published detailed proposals that will see the South London authority become Britain's first-ever ‘co-operative council’. The plan is now open to public consultation.
Lambeth's Co-operative Council model – first trailed in the national media in February 2010 – will see residents take on a bigger role in running and shaping local services. The model applies the co-operative model of fairness, accountability and responsibility across a broad range of services. It is built on four years experience trialling the approach in specific services in Lambeth.
