Unity
brings strength and forges a purpose. No man is an island. A Society benefits
from good Governance, a common vision, measured missions, detailed plans, processes,
procedures, a balance budget, and the strengthening of dynamic strategic plans
from its continuous review and correction of mistakes. As politics of hate,
broken and warring parties, lets many in society down, other forms of unity,
mostly build on single or interlocking issues, will raise to accomplish success
and constantly improve living conditions. Hence, persons who have accomplished
some level of success are now in a position to guide others and build on that
success to benefit all.
Communities depend heavily on Local Government Services. Such as
Infrastructure; water, electricity roads transportation to and from housing,
resiliently built and maintained. Basic living services delivered to residents’
front doors, which can easily be measured. Garbage collection, sanitation and
environmental protection are key to all within the caption area and must be
treated with the utmost of importance. Measured by programmed matrix numbers of
persons served, and cost to benefit analysis, politics must be therefore, put
aside to achieve the desired results. Skilled and talented persons,
preferentially living and working in the community, must consequently, be the
ones setting the agenda.
Strong representation is essential, by all in the community to point
out projects, measure recurrent activities and place on the agenda issues that
affect living standards. Issues which, spans across the politics of the day;
security, health and education, must be brought to the Local Government body to
be discussed, planned, prioritized, funded and executed. Community Policing and
Patrols backed by neighborhood watch groups can tighten, strengthen and offer
such security. Community Centre Clinics supported by emergency rooms facilities
and treatment services can offer a higher standard of wellness and healthcare.
And Technology, locally maintained will bring all levels of education to the
community, from early childhood to college, encouraging Lifelong Learning.
Also, as individuals need commercial activities within their reach; market
vending, grocery, hardware, food outlets, clothing, furniture and appliances
stores, entertainment centers, etc., it is clear and stands out that such jobs
and opportunities strengthens the community. A Business Association, a powerful
bargaining unit; uniting stakeholders inclusive of suppliers, and consumers, is
very crucial for community development. Hence, any issue that tends to hinder
the proper flow of commercial activities must be quickly added to the Local
Government agenda, and solutions found and implemented. Achieving better living standards, creating new
jobs and opportunities, is dealt with by listening to such powerful and helpful
types of issues from single focused associations.
It is the duty of the Local
Government body to better living standards, deliver key ecological services and
attract investment into its jurisdiction. It is, however, Single Issue Community
Groups which focuses the agenda to strategic plans and funding. For example,
sporting leagues must plan and structure programs and apply to Local Government
for the use of grounds and facilities to raise funding, engage and train youth
in proper and better usage of their time. Such groups traditionally turn to
commercial operators to fund and sponsor their community programs. With Local
Government focusing on the ease of doing business, the local Business
Association, working through and alongside, will bring its voices to the
development programs. Its expertise to reduce deficits, budgeting and securing reserve
currency to benefit communities.
