March/05 Carl Wright explains in the introduction to the third commonwealth local government conference in Aberdeen, Scotland March 2005 deepening local democracy provides a unique occasion to seek to promote sustain and re-energize local democracy from the ballot box to community planning and local decision making for better front line services. It will allow those involved in local government to meet debate and learn from international experience and innovation. It will also provide an opportunity to formulate common principles and standards and seek to apply the concepts of Professor Amartya Sen to the sphere of local democracy and to deepen the democratic process at the point where it is closest to the people.
