Road Signs and Markings
Asked by: Lord Pickles (Conservative - Life peer) Thursday 10th April 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to implement via secondary legislation the provisions in the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023 on street votes for new development and street referendums on renaming streets; and, if not, why not. Answered by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The government is monitoring the arrangements for locally supported street name changes put in place by the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act and does not currently consider there is a need for regulations or guidance to support local authorities. Other policies inherited from the last government in the Act that have not been implemented, including street votes, continue to be kept under review.

Regional Planning and Development
Asked by: Lord Pickles (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 22nd April 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they recognise the concept of regions only in England; or whether they recognise them also within Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Answered by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Prime Minister has been clear that rebuilding the country requires UK wide delivery, working effectively with all levels of government, in every nation and indeed in every region. The UK Government is directly responsible for working with Mayors and regional partners such as local government to drive delivery across England’s regions. We also work closely with regional local partners and in collaboration with the Devolved Governments to deliver the UK Government's responsibilities across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. |
