Sustainable Communities Act - cast your vote on ideas for changing local council powers
Dear allFor the first time the Sustainable Communities Act gives you the chance to review local spending of the taxes you pay and suggest changes to spending and national legislation. Hounslow Council passed a motion (agenda item 7) with cross party support on 28 October 2008 in support of the Sustainable Communities Act. The Council now has to feed back to the Local Government Association 'selector panel' by 31 July 2009 with ideas for change from the local community. (see links at http://takebackpowerhounslow.org/takebackpower.aspx) To get the debate started, we have posted some of the best ideas from the independent Local Works campaign on a Google Moderator micro-site:http://moderator.appspot.com/#16/e=6c77eTry browsing the 55 ideas we've posted and casting your vote. I will be feeding the results of this survey back to the Leader of the Council, Cllr Thompson.The Sustainable Communities Act - and these ideas from Local Works - will also be up for debate at next week's public meetings.
