Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Cullen)

The statutory provisions relating to the establishment of a new town council as set out in Part 17 of the Local Government Act 2001 have yet to be brought into force. However, I hope to be in a position to commence these and other relevant provisions of the Act over the course of the summer.
