The London Docklands Development Corporation was established in July 1981 as the regeneration agency for the Docklands Urban Development Area. The then Secretary of State for the Environment, the Rt. Hon. Michael Heseltine, MP, emphasised at the time that the UDA offered "a major opportunity for the development that London needs over the last 20 years of the 20th century". He also emphasised that "London Docklands can only be successfully regenerated by a single-minded development agency". Under the Local Government Planning and Land Act 1980 the LDDC was given powers of development control and compulsory purchase. It was not, however, given powers or duties to make statutory development plans, which in the case of Bermondsey Riverside remained with the London Borough of Southwark. The Borough also retained responsibility for the full range of local government services in the area, including housing, highways, education and social and community services.
Mission: The mission of the local health districts - (Westport Weston was the state's first) - is to preserve the public's health, prevent the spread of disease, promote wellness and enforce state health statutes, the Public Health Code, local ordinances and sanitary codes. What we do: The Westport Weston Health District (WWHD) is a governmental agency which provides local public health services to the residents of Westport and Weston. WWHD provides a wide range of services to help keep the communities of Westport and Weston healthy. WWHD is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the First Selectmen of Westport and Weston. The staff includes highly trained professionals in environmental and community health. WWHD is organized into two major divisions, Community Health Services and Environmental Health Services. The Community Health Division provides an array of preventative health services at the Bayberry location and at sites throughout Westport and Weston. Regular programs include: free blood pressure screenings, senior center clinics, walk-in wellness clinics, community cholesterol screenings and a confidential HIV/AIDS Testing and Counseling Clinic. The Health District's public health nurse provides health check visits to the homebound elderly. Many services are offered free or at a reduced charge. The Travelers Immunization Clinic is one of the Health District's most popular programs. In 2004, almost 500 individuals visited the morning clinic to receive immunizations against travel diseases such as yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis. The Health District also teams up with local medical organizations and providers to offer screening programs each year for breast and prostate cancer, skin cancer, vision problems and other health concerns. A low cost animal rabies clinic is provided annually in cooperation with area veterinarians. The Health District's health educator sponsors a wide variety of health education programs to the community in partnership with local civic organizations. The Environmental Health Division of WWHD, together with state and federal health agencies, works to prevent and control the spread of disease in the environment. Public health sanitarians perform health inspections, investigate and resolve nuisance complaints, respond to public health hazards and educate the public about communicable disease prevention. WWHD responds to local environmental emergencies on and around-the-clock basis. WWHD is the leading community response to Lyme disease and West Nile virus, two emerging diseases that threaten the health of residents. In 1999, the Health District was awarded a five-year grant to teach residents about ways to reduce the number of deer ticks and protect themselves against Lyme disease. The project, called Target Lyme Disease, aims to develop a model community intervention program that can be used by towns across the nation. In 2000, WWHD developed a comprehensive mosquito control plan for Westport and Weston to help prevent the spread of West Nile virus. A current health message and monthly calendar of events are available online as well as through a Health Information Hotline at 222-3875. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., or call 227-9571.

http://www.niobraracouncil.org
The Niobrara Council was formed in 1997 to assist the National Park Service in managing and protecting Niobrara National Scenic River resources. It formed out of the wishes of the local people to have an active voice in the river management issues and a strong desire to preserve the rural characteristics, scenic qualities, and private ownership of land in the area, some of which has been in the same families for over a hundred years. The Council was originally formed by an inter-local agreement between Brown, Cherry, Keya Paha, and Rock Counties. However in 2000, the Council was strengthened when the State of Nebraska passed legislation which reconstituted the Council as a "State-Recognized" organization and delegated Niobrara River management responsibility, including the ability to develop conservation easements and hold title to land. Initially, the Council had 15 members, each representing a different stakeholder's perspective, but this number was later expanded to 16. The membership consists of representatives from local, state, and federal government, local landowners, county commissioners, area industries, and the environmental community. The diverse makeup of the Council provides a wealth of knowledge, experience, and new perspectives regarding river management issues. Although the "Niobrara Council" concept was a departure from conventional approaches to natural resource management, the cooperative experiment has proven to be extremely effective and now serves as a model for others throughout the nation.
