Funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust we have came to the end of phase two of this programme. Seeking to build on the momentum achieved by our previous report ‘renewing our democracy’ it has looked at:

• Coalition councils and whether or not they mark the beginning of a "new politics".
• Single public authorities for Scotland's islands.
• Public engagement in the health sector.
• Introducing elected mayors for Scottish cities to increase public engagement.

We are currently seeking funding for the third and final phase of this programme. Details will be posted in the near future.
