Sustainable Communities Act 2007
2/15/2009
We will follow with some discussion anon. We are considering affiliating with the other eco-groups in Haringey so that the Green voice can be heard on the citizen’s panels that the Act is proposing. In the mean time have a read of the Act. At the public meeting on the 17th of Feb. the MPs and other speakers hailed the Act as a most important step for Democracy. Local communities will drive where Government monies go to and if we exercise the Act we will not be subject to nationwide solutions that don’t fit our area’s needs.
Here is the Act itself
