Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the 24 local pilot programmes on statutory notices; and what plans they have to make statutory notices more cost-effective.

We are grateful to the local pilots for the work they have done on options for the future of statutory notices, which are important tools to ensure that the public are kept informed of decisions and changes that affect them as individuals and communities. We are considering the reports of the pilot programmes carefully.
