Local Works National Co-ordinator, Steve Shaw, said:
"We are delighted to see so many MPs, from all parties, backing the urgent need for the government to deal with the ideas people across the country put forward under the Sustainable Communities Act. It is nearly a year since these ideas were put forward. The government must respond urgently, otherwise there is a grave risk that people who got involved in this new democratic process will become disillusioned."
