Local community putting things in order (10)
I believe the answer is:
settlement
This clue could be a double definition.
'local community' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'things in order' is the second definition.
'settlement' can be an answer for 'order' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'things in' bit.
'putting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for settlement that I've seen before include "Colonial outpost" , "New community" , "local community" , "Subsidence; payment" , "Small colony" .)
