SUSTAINABLE  COMMUNITIES

Jo Williams attended the 90@90 Closing Conference for our Federation and learned that Nick Hurd (M.P.for Wokingham) had brought in a Private Members Bill on Sustainable Communities. Local people know best which amenities they need. We must build support at a local level.

In  October every Local Authority wil receive an invitation to submit suggestions for Sustainable Communities via. Citizens panels .Start thinking NOW of Local Actions required and GET INVOLVED.
