Changes at MACC

We know that there have been concerns among local groups that little information was shared about what was happening with discussions organised by the City Council around changes to infrastructure. We shared these concerns: we felt, as did others around the table, that there were several stakeholder interests not represented in the discussions (so we later used the opportunity of a bid to Transforming Local Infrastructure to widen the membership).

We also asked the City Council to release some key documents which came out of the process which we felt should have been shared. As part of our new agreement with the City Council we’ve therefore assembled a library of documents which tell the story of the discussions & how we reached this situation. If you want to know more about how we reached this point, those documents are the key:

• City Council - Feedback from Survey Monkey Consultation in November 2010 (June 2011)
  
  
• City Council - New Infrastructure Framework (March 2011)
  
  
• Manchester Infrastructure Framework - Stakeholder Update (April 2011)
  
  
• Manchester Infrastructure Collaborative Framework (June 2011)
  
  
• City Council - Infrastructure Update (October 2011)
  
  
• Developing the Volunteering Infrastructure in Manchester (2009)
