Planning Bill and local democracy

A CARA resident has alerted the Committee to Friend of the Earth's campaign on the Planning Bill currently going through Parliament and the Committee stage. FoE's concerns are largely environmental, of course, but they also make a case for more local democracy, not less as the Bill proposes, and the right for individuals to have their say. If you are concerned about these issues and would like to take action, you can find out more at http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/local/planning/whats_going_on/index.html
