Barnet Council And The Lidbury Square Development Mill Hill

EDM number 1445 in 2008-09, proposed by Andrew Dismore on 06/05/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Local government.

That this House notes that Conservative Barnet Council has been collecting full-rate council tax from residents in the Lidbury Square development, Mill Hill East since 2002; further notes that Barnet Council has refused to adopt the roads, thus giving itself the excuse not to deliver the full range of services for which residents are paying, including no street sweeping, no street lighting maintenance and no upkeep of the highways; further notes this abnegation of responsibility is based on the council's failure to reach agreement with the developer Crest Nicholson and the utility companies; believes this is also due to the failure of Barnet Council either to specify sufficiently stringent requirements in the planning consent for the scheme or to enforce such conditions, if they are adequate; believes this to be an appalling example of yet another Conservative jobsworth council failing its residents; and calls upon the Government to investigate Conservative Barnet's extraction of council taxes under the false pretences of providing non-existent services to the residents of Lidbury Square.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
