The work of the Carnegie Commission for Rural Communities is now complete; their final report 'A Charter for Rural Communities' was presented to media and stakeholders in London on Wednesday 20th June 2007. The report includes the Commission’s Ideas for Action. The Commission sees central and local government, landowners, the Social Investment Bank, the Lottery distributors, Third Sector agencies, trusts and local communities working together to deliver these actions. These include:
- A major expansion in community ownership of local assets
- An enhanced role for parish and community councils
- A Centre for Excellence supporting rural community development policy and practice on the ground (now developed as a 'Community of Practice.)
- Encouragement and assistance for local communities to develop and manage their own services and to engage in community planning
