Re: Hilary Benn sets out vision for Local Authorities on the environment, , July 5 2007

Quote: "It's a task for all of us - G8 leader and council leader alike - and citizens too. "

Ok a start is being made with the 'council leader' bit of the above, but when will the 'citizens too' bit get the attention it needs? And in particular when will it be the many not the few within government, and especially local government, who make a habit of talking with us rather than at us? Philralph 10:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

On the positive side, and even though 5 years may seem a long time to roll this out - credit where credit's due, Local people to have greater say on spending, July 5 topic link, has got to be a step in the right direction hasn't it? Philralph 16:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
