IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES ACT 2007

Early day motion 1061, tabled 11 March 2009 by David Drew (Labour). Signed by 86 members.

That this House notes the words of the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, the hon. Member for Salford, spoken when launching the Sustainable Communities Act 2007 at the Local Government Association Conference on 14 October, that `this Act is about changing the way we do business in this country'; notes especially her words regarding the duty on the Secretary of State not just to consult but also to try to reach agreement with the Local Government Association regarding what action she should take to help councils promote local sustainability; and accordingly hopes that this co-operative method of governance will be adopted by her and her Department when implementing this Act.
