Written evidence to be reported to the House
Housing and Regeneration Bill
10:58 am
Nick Day: Obviously we are in new territory with the Mayor’s housing powers, as far as London is concerned. That is starting to be played out. Local authorities are very much engaged with their local communities. They have a local democratic mandate. We want to ensure that the strength that will bring to developments, to regeneration and to sustainable communities is not lost in the context of a regional focus that loses the link with local communities.
