Support for the Civic Voice manifesto 2015-2020

Civic Voice has asked Civic Societies throughout England to lobby General Election candidates and local councillors to support the Civic Voice manifesto 2015-2020.

The Civic Voice Manifesto calls on all political parties to commit to:
  • Make improving the quality of the public realm in our cities, towns and villages a priority
  • Give all citizens opportunities to actively shape the future of their place
  • Give local communities the powers they need to enable their city, town and village centres to prosper.
