Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the publication on 7 March of the Plan for Neighbourhoods, what definition they use for workplace representative, and whether neighbourhood boards will be required to give seats to workplace representatives.

The Plan for Neighbourhoods’ prospectus was published on 4 March. As outlined in the Plan for Neighbourhoods’ governance and boundary guidance, published on 12 March, Neighbourhood Boards should comprise representatives from a cross-section of the local community to promote community leadership.

Boards may want to consider but are not obligated to include workplace representatives, such as a trades union representative.
