---

Summary

The purpose of the Sustainable Communities Act 2007 is to promote the sustainability of local communities. It provides a channel for local communities and local authorities to ask central government to take action which they believe would improve the economic, social or environmental well-being of their area. As part of the Act, arrangements will be made for the production of Local Spending Reports (LSR) which will provide information on public expenditure in a particular area.

This consultation seeks views on how the Government should put in place the first arrangements for LSRs and seeks views on how these reports might develop over time.

Duration

Comments on Questions 1 and 2 on the proposals for the first arrangements for the production of Local Spending Reports should be sent to the department no later than Friday 3 April 2009.

The deadline for responding to questions 3 to 5 on developing the reports over time is Friday 15 May 2009.
