Proceeding contribution from Tom Levitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Local Government White Paper.


Local Government White Paper

I welcome my right hon. Friend’s recognition of the role of councillors as community champions and the need for ever better strategic leadership in local authority areas. The first of those will mean working more closely with community and voluntary sector representatives in the streets and estates of local authorities in ways that are informative, meaningful and flexible. At a more strategic level, will she look again at the way in which local strategic partnerships operate, in particular those with the good practice of really involving representatives of the community and voluntary sector to ensure that their voices are heard in LSPs?
