Save the Sustainable Communities Act - stop the delay tactics

The Sustainable Communities Act aims to promote the sustainability of local communities.
It begins from the principle that local people know best what needs to be done to promote the sustainability of their area, but that sometimes they need central government to act to enable them to do so. It provides a channel for local people to ask central government to take such action. It is also a new way for local authorities to ask central government to take action which they believe would better enable them to improve the economic, social or environmental well-being of their area. This could include a proposal to transfer the functions of one public body to another.
The scope of the Act is very broad, covering economic, social and environmental issues. It does not limit the type of action that could be put forward, provided the action is within that broad scope. It is for local people to decide what they think needs to be done to
promote the sustainability of their area.

The government's opponents to this act are creating delay tactics to stall the implementation of the Sustainable Communities Act in the hope that it will put ministers off and stop it happening. But the Sustainable Communities Act is there to help us protect our local shops, post offices, pubs and promote things like renewable energy.

Please help to campaign to the government that we want the Sustainable Communities Act now!
