Request

  1. Has your local authority stated an opinion on street votes? Specifically, did you respond to the official consultation on Street Vote Development Orders? https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/street-vote-development-orders-consultation/street-vote-development-orders.  If so please send me a copy of your response.
  2. I understand that regardless of Street Vote Development Orders legislation being implemented, individual local authorities could choose to introduce a similar arrangement of their own volition. This could be done by allowing a local poll under Section 116 of the Local Government Act 2003 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/26/section/116?timeline=false&view=plain and then issuing Local Development Orders to reflect what the residents voted for https://www.local.gov.uk/pas/topics/local-development-orders/local-development-orders.  Have you held any such street votes? Do you have any plans to allow street votes in future?

Response
