Since that debate in Committee, the Government have brought in the very long-awaited land use framework, which provides some guidance at the big scale, but how will it be delivered and how will we get the focus on feeding local areas? We desperately need to do this as well as thinking about environment, flood prevention and all these things. We have to see rural areas and cities and towns as a complete network, a complete system. We will have to direct attention to these new bodies being created or there is a real risk that they will be overlooked and, as a result, everyone will suffer, not just people in rural areas.
