Sustainable Communities Bill

Proceeding contribution from Andrew Gwynne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 19 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Sustainable Communities Bill.
I have three examples in the Stockport part of my constituency of where the council has ignored the views of the local community on a village green application, on a proposal to build a new primary school on a former landfill site and over the closure of the local swimming baths. That has left the community of Reddish feeling as though its views are completely ignored and it is an irrelevant part of the borough of Stockport. Unfortunately, the ballot box is not the answer, because the councillors in that part of Reddish support the local community. It is the Liberal Democrat council that has done all that. People are completely disaffected and cannot change the situation.
