Here, the past 10 days has seen publication of Taking Power Back: http://www.policypress.co.uk/display.asp?K=9781447326878 by Simon Parker of NLGN – a commons oriented approach to redesigning local government, as it is faced with the challenges that are helpfully outlined in Deloitte’s new ‘The State of the State’: http://www2.deloitte.com/uk/en/pages/public-sector/articles/state-of-the-sta... - and with a welcome mention of the Common Libraries initiative. Otherwise, we set out the following ideas and have amassed a modest R&D Fund from local government finance directors in x11 areas to progress associated activities, some 12 months after we began talking to you all about some of them: *Rethinking Capital Development & Deployment to Obtain Revenue Outcomes* *Land* 1 Decommodify Land and Buildings 2 Invite Innovation in Housing Development 3 Map, Publicise and Share Infrastructure 4 Cooperate – Capital for Revenue Working *Labour* 5 Invite Collaboration Proposals / Agreements 6 Issue Challenges & Pilot Innovative Collaborations 7 Incentivise Collaboration 8 Explore a New Inter-Generational Settlement *Capital* 9 Establish Invest to Innovate Governance (R&D Government) 10 Explore Donations, Subscriptions and Crowd Funds 11 Decommodify Money for Liquidity in Deprived Neighbourhoods 12 Share Patient, Low-Cost Investment Capital 13 Introduce Alternative Currencies & Virtuous Procurement *Enterprise* 14 Income Generation Opportunities 15 Inward Social Enterprise Investment Strategies 16 Invite Public : Social Partnerships – Open Coops *Technology* 17 Support Self-Build Open Networks 18 Pilot Whitespace Use & Wi-Fi Hotspot Loans 19 Establish Public : Social ISPs 20 Explore Blockchain Contracts and Currencies 21 Develop “Our Data” Initiatives with Business / Communities I’ll let you know how we get on / as and when we would welcome your expert input! But, if anyone knows how we might attract £££ to progress (8) - which is about ‘re-writing the Beveridge Report’ and underpinned by ideas related to the inter-generational transfer of housing equity in the form of ‘community wills’ - I’m all ears…because, they didn’t “get” how that could help to re-float social care budgets under increasing pressure, but we think we may well have ourselves some ideas as to how to take that forward.
