Rapid research COVID-19 Briefing #10: Community responses to COVID-19 - Striking a balance between communities and local authorities

Wilson, Mandy, McCabe, Angus and Macmillan, Rob (2021) Rapid research COVID-19 Briefing #10: Community responses to COVID-19 - Striking a balance between communities and local authorities.

Abstract

This briefing draws on research with five local authorities in England to examine how relationships between communities and local government have played out during the COVID-19 pandemic. It draws attention to a complex and interlinked response to the crisis from communities and local councils, founded upon a consistent and collaborative approach to working closely with communities, experience of earlier crises, and a fine balance struck between leading and enabling community action. The briefing illustrates the effectiveness of a trust-based relational approach to community engagement but notes that the push for greater community power can both ebb and flow.
