I am today laying before Parliament “Post-Legislative Assessment of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005”, Cm 8394, the Government’s memorandum to the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee, which provides a preliminary assessment of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005.
The main purpose of the Act is to provide a legislative framework for providing and maintaining a clean and safe local environment and provides powers to local authorities to tackle problems associated with antisocial behaviour.
Copies of the memorandum are available in the Vote Office.
