Proceeding contribution from Alistair Burt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 26 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sustainable Communities Act 2007 (Amendment) Bill.


Sustainable Communities Act 2007 (Amendment) Bill

Parish plans, through which people become involved in shaping the future of their community, are a wonderful idea, but does my hon. Friend agree that they seem to hit the buffers because there is no process available to take their proposals further? The Bill provides an opportunity for similar plans. I wonder whether my hon. Friend has shared that experience of parish plans, where individuals have been engaged in a plan, only to end up asking, "What now?"
