BIRTLEY COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

Early day motion 933, tabled 2 November 2005 by David Anderson (Labour). Signed by 28 members.

That this House congratulates those individuals and organisations who work together in the Birtley Community Partnership; recognises the efforts of all concerned in working in a consensual manner for the benefit of their town; wishes them the very best in their efforts to develop their plans to improve their town centre, to promote community safety and to improve their environment; looks forward to the outcome of their plans especially through the use of the Planning for Real Concept which is based on real involvement of the whole community with particular input from younger people; and calls on local and national government to continue to support this very worthwhile initiative which could prove to be a role model for genuine community partnership action.

Signatures by party: Labour 24, Conservative 2, DUP 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
