Sustainable Communities is not just another consultation exercise!
 

On 23 October 2007, the Sustainable Communities Act became law.  It is a remarkable piece of legislation.  For the first time we have an Act of Parliament that discards the usual top-down decision making and also the nonsense that ‘consultation’ by the government is somehow empowering,  when the opposite is the case as most people know.   Follow this link to find out more about  Sustainable Communities Act  and how it gives you power over decisions which affect your life.
