Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2025

Debate

Plan for Neighbourhoods

Contribution

My Lords, I will follow on from the questions about the membership of the neighbourhood boards. The Statement says that they “will include representatives from social housing and workplace representatives and, in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the representative in the devolved legislature”. I have no objection to any of those, but it is a rather limited list. Does the Minister agree that these neighbourhood boards should have representatives for young people, disabled people and, where relevant, minoritised communities?
