WHAT IS LOCAL AGENDA 21?
Local Agenda 21 is an opportunity to improve everyone's quality of life. It is a plan to balance economic, social and environmental well being. This is to ensure that economic progress is not at the cost of the natural environment or society.
HOW DID IT START?
In 1992, at the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, over 170 world nations signed up to a voluntary agreement called Agenda 21. This document was an Agenda for the 21st century, made up of numerous chapters each detailing the role that different parts of society could play. There are chapters for central government, local government, business and non-government and community organisations. The chapter for local government has been translated in the UK into "Local Agenda 21", introduced in 1994 by central government, directing each local authority to have developed a LA21 strategy by 2000.
IMAGE was formed as part of the Wrexham Local Agenda 21 forum in 2000. The group meets on an informal basis approximately every six weeks in the Gresford Memorial Hall and is open to anyone who lives or works in the local community. There is no formal membership as such apart from the elected officers of Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. Anyone who wishes to be kept informed of the activities of the Group can have their details entered on the Group's database. Details of meetings etc. are sent out electronically to everyone on the database. This database is kept exclusively for the transmission of IMAGE information and will not be passed on to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.
Put very simply, the aim of the group is to help the local community to improve its quality of life.
