Evening Standard; "Ministers to push Big Society idea" (Localism Bill)

Evening Standard

The legislation, to be published on Monday, will create:

• A right to buy significant local buildings. If the council decides to sell property, communities will receive extra time to develop their bid.
  
• Rights for the community to question how services are being run, and potentially take them over. This could include children's centres, social care services or transport.
  
• More rights for communities over planning, deciding where developments of new homes should go and protecting green spaces.
