In my area we have the county council, Naas Town Council and the local VEC. Regarding the one-stop shops, it is wonderful to see the move towards local authority buildings that can encompass many of these things. In the long term I hope we will see one-stop shops becoming part and parcel of that. The central focus of any town is on the local authority buildings and some magnificent buildings have been built. Without predetermining some of the initiatives and schemes, would it be possible to use the local authority mechanism to introduce another strand that would be helpful to all organisations that need to deal with local authorities?
