Abstract	The author talks about a vision of a "learning community" that is currently being trialled in 26 testbeds in England. As the first learning community testbeds develop across England, the author looks at some of the early issues that are emerging from the first few months of activity. The issues identified have emerged from early discussion about and with testbeds relating to where they are going and how they fit into the landscape of community learning. They range from possible support needs to theoretical placing. The author states that it is important that these issues are articulated early so that strategies can be devised to ensure that useful support is provided, that challenges are understood and that the testbed initiative is able to produce the best possible case for approaches that work. The author emphasizes that educators need to be able to identify the links and fits with other Government policies and particularly the developing thinking on sustainable communities where learning is already seen as a strong component part.
