Abstract
The key task of an ‘enabling and empowering’ local authority in providing effective community governance is ‘to build citizenship’. This statement by John Stewart (1993) provides the starting point for this chapter which takes that theme further, with a particular emphasis on social or welfare rights which cannot be ignored in any discussion of citizenship.
