An obstacle to the "Big Society"

As I was browsing the web for a story that shows the Big Society with in April, and I found this local story of a local council dismissing the chance for the"Big Society" to take place. Toby Young wrote a piece for The Spectator and i feel that this would be interesting for you to read. To read click here
This shows that even those who want to be involved sometimes cannot due to what ever circumstances, though I believe that these people should be encouraged to get involved and not turned away.

The local Labour MP, Glenda Jackson – who might have welcomed her constituents’ initiative – has said this:

Make of that as you wish and maybe cash injections are needed but if the local council cannot provide then who will? Has the "Big Society" started to go weak at the knees.
