Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many neighbourhood forums have been established under the Localism Act 2011.
The Department does not hold official statistics on the number of neighbourhood forums established under the Localism Act. However from our informal monitoring we are aware that of the 1,400 communities who have started the process of neighbourhood planning, around 190 are non-parished areas, and will therefore be led by neighbourhood forums.
