Christmas Adjournment

Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 December 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Christmas Adjournment.
We have had similar incidents in the village of Adlington, where a large housing company is showing total disregard for the area’s residents. It has yet to fulfil its agreements under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. I am worried about what will happen if the council does not take action, perhaps through the environment committee, to put the company under great pressure. What bonds are being held by the local authority in case the company is in breach of conditions? Perhaps some of those could be used. A company such as Wimpey, which belongs to a housing federation, ought to take responsibility. It should be talking about compensating the residents whom it has upset. Perhaps that is a way forward.
