A press release lands on Liberal Bureaucracy's e-doormat...
On Wednesday 27 January, Unlock Democracy will be hosting a lecture by John Denham in the Grimond Room, Portcullis House, Westminster, starting at 7.15 p.m.
All parties talk of devolving power to local communities. This series of lectures is designed to find out what exactly they mean by Citizenship Empowerment. This is the second of a series of lectures Unlock Democracy is hosting, examining the vision and philosophy of each of the main three parties regarding Citizen Empowerment, and follows on from the success of the Sustainable Communities Act, the campaign for which was led by Unlock Democracy. The first of our lectures was given by the Rt Hon. Oliver Letwin MP.
Tickets are free, however numbers are strictly limited so please be advised to RSVP as quickly as possible to http://johndenham.eventbrite.com/. Please allow 20 minutes to clear security.
