• closure of the local Post Office, police station, small shop, pub, doctors surgery, dentist, hospital etc

• no affordable housing, local bus service or local, healthy food

• pollution and climate change, traffic wrecking quiet streets

• older people abandoned

Now you can fight back!

David Drew MP (Labour), Nick Hurd MP (Conservative) and Julia Goldsworthy MP (Lib Dem) that led the cross party campaign for the Act in Parliament. They say: “This is not just another consultation. This Act gives you power to protect and enhance your community, we urge you to use it.”

The Government Minister, Phil Woolas, told the House of Commons on 15 June 2007 that the Sustainable Communities Act was one of the most important such Acts in the last 40 years because, as he said: ‘I genuinely believe that it will change the relationships in British politics’.
