Democracy Matters: Route Map for Reform Easy Read
An easy read version of a route map that lays out reform proposals for empowered community decision-making and the work needed to deliver it.

What is Democracy Matters?
Democracy Matters helps us understand how communities and governments can think about how decisions can be made in local areas.
Democracy Matters began with 2 phases. It spoke with communities and the public sector. It aimed to bring people together to speak about decisions about where they live.
A group of experts in community development and decision making came together to help the Scottish and Local Government come up with ideas for change.
