Motion text

That this House is concerned at the decline and destruction of local communities caused by the closure of local facilities, such as doctors surgeries, schools, benefit offices and leisure and sports centres as well as shops and public houses and by excess and unnecessary road traffic delivering food and beer from long distances and causing air and noise pollution as well as extra emissions of carbon dioxide; notes that the Local Services and Facilities Bill introduced by the honourable Member for Brecon and Radnorshire with cross-party support will require impact assessments to be drawn up before facilities are closed and will then allow local people to make representatives either to prevent the closure or to require action to be taken to ameliorate the adverse effects, and will also require steps to be taken to reduce food miles and beer miles; and therefore urges the Government to ensure that time can be found for the Bill to be debated.
