CHANGE THE LAW - YOU DECIDE HOW

 

For the first time the Sustainable Communities Act gives you the chance to review local spending of the taxes you pay and suggest changes to spending and national legislation. 
 
The Department for Community and Local Communities has produced an introductory guide to the act.
 
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES ACT
Hounslow Council passed a motion (agenda item 7) with cross party support on 28 October 2008 in support of the Sustainable Communities Act. 
 
The Council now has to feed back to the Local Government Association 'selector panel' by 31 July 2009 with ideas for change from the local community.
