Cllr David Alston	Monday 07 June 2010 3:44:09 pm Strand 1 - What more could individuals and communities do for themselves? [Topic now closed] There is a long history of communities owning and managing community assets in the Highlands and we benefit from high levels of volunteering. Is there an appetite for communities and individuals to do more? For example, we spend £3.9m on street cleaning and litter collection and £4.3m on grounds maintenance, flower beds and play areas. Could community involvement help to reduce these costs by £1m?
