Proceeding contribution from Jeff Ennis (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Communities in Control.
Communities in Control
I ask my question as a great supporter of town and parish councils, as a former town councillor and as a former town mayor for Brierley and Grimethorpe town council. The Secretary of State will know that in certain areas people have overwhelmingly voted to abolish the local parish council in a parish poll. Under the existing system, it is virtually impossible to achieve that objective. In the White Paper, will she look at that very difficult issue in detail and come up with some recommendations?
