News on the possibility of the Sustainable Communities Act being opted into in Bromley. I received a letter this morning from Cllr Anne Manning on behalf of all the Coney Hall councillors, with the following info:

"You will be aware that local authorities have until 31st July 2009 to reach a decision and forward proposals, if and where appropriate.
I have discussed the Act's intent with Senior Officers.
I am advised that a report will be presented to the next meeting of the Council's Executive on Wednesday 14th January. Copies of the Agenda will be available for inspection shortly before the meeting on the Council's website and all Borough Libraries.
If you would like to attend the meeting, you are free to do so. At this stage I am unsure of the start time - 7pm or 7.30pm - but a phone call to the Council will help."
