This month's Bulletin includes the latest on the Coalition government’s ‘Big Society’ plans, and how these may impact on communities. We also have some eco town news, and it’s not looking very promising. In addition we have a piece concerning the falling number of homeless people in the UK, however the reliability of these figures has been questioned – and rightly so. We also have news on Paignton’s efforts to revitalize the seaside town by re-visiting the attractions of yesteryear. And last but not least, we have a piece from Regeneration and Renewal Magazine which looks into the local impacts/the potential legacy of developments being put into place in preparation for the 2012 Olympics, and a nice piece from ManchesterConfidential.com which looks at two of Manchester’s Public squares.
