Sustainable Communities Act 2007

This act is something puts a smile on my face, for one thing if you go on to the Gov web site on of the pages has a big sign
Worried about ,then it goes on to list a number of things that you can now fight back ,it states that you ,your neighbours and friends power to tell Government how to stop your community declining.

Just look at this list...

• No local jobs or businesses
• Your Post Office closing
• Local shops and Pubs closing
• Doctors, Dentists & Community Hospitals
• No local Police station

...and the list goes on, but what sticks you about this list, lets face it Post Offices in rural areas have closed along with local shop's and pub's.

I am for sustainable communities, here in my own community we have seen shops close, and big super markets move in, we have had to fight to keep our library open, we do not have space to walk or sit.

Why have so many MP's just let this happen, in a safe job ,I think not, please go to the web site on this subject and read it's not long if you take the small edition.

We are being bludgeoned in to having 600 more houses built here in Kingsteignton, but we lack space, in research it has been shown if you put animals in a confined space, they will start to fight and eat each other, look at what is happening with young people, knife crime, alcohol abuse and drugs, does it ring any bells it does for me, space and activity is needed for all ages.

I must look for some nice things to put a smile on people's faces, I had an email with some of Beryl Cook's paintings, that cheers one up.
