Community Campaign Hart (CCH)


Charter

The CCH is an association formed out of members of the general public with the purpose of empowering the community to effectively represent itself on issues of significant local concern. The group believes that in order to ensure that the statute authorities make fair, representative and just decisions the deliberation process can not exclude the local community.

The CCH exists to combine the vastly varied skill sets of it's members to analyse, publicize, question and challenge the assumptions, assertions, data and legislation being used to determine issues of significant local importance.

The CCH is an inclusive body which will give help to the less 'media' enabled members of our society, ensuring that they are able to effectively express their view. The CCH will also strive to ensure that where appropriate the most sophisticated techniques of communication and use of media shall be deployed to ensure that the community is not ignored.

The CCH aims to represent the community as a whole and has no political affiliation. However to combat disenfranchisement brought about through any blatant discounting of universal public opinion by our elected representatives, the CCH reserve the right  to field our own (independent) candidates in selected seats at future district and county elections.
