Ten Act Proposals Agreed by the Former Minister, John Denham MP

Tue 27th July 2010

In 6th April 2010 John Denham MP, former Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, agreed to implement 10 proposals made by citizens and councils who have used the Sustainable Communities Act.

In a Written Ministerial Statement to Parliament, Mr Denham listed the 10 proposals, as well as a commitment to move forward on the rest that remained. This was progress and Local Works welcomed it. The list of those 10 proposals can be viewed here.

However, following the General Election in May, Ministers of the new coalition government 'unagreed' the 10 proposals that Mr Denham had agreed. Parliamentary Early Day Motion No. 178 therefore urges the new coalition government to deal with the proposals urgently.
