About this Item

From the publisher: This is an argument for decentralization - pointing out that too much power is centred on Whitehall and underlining the social breakdown this causes in rural areas of the UK. Rendell and Ward argue that regional and local government throughout Britain would restore power to the people who are now ruled by political processes governing levels of housing, education and social services - factors which affect the essential qualities of people's lives. They use the specific example of Polstead - their local town - where a village primary school has recently been closed down (against the wishes of the community) and where housing is unavailable for local first time buyers. They propose a radical network of local government based on the Swiss model. This copy is fine in black, green and white wrappers. No marks or or damage. Signed by suthor Ruth Rendell, the famous mystery author, who was also engaged in social and political activism in Britain. BI16.
