I fear the Act has become some sort of a tick-box exercise. Local government and public bodies will say that they've considered it, that they've considered the future, and then move on regardless with their present plans. If asked, they will be able to show that they considered the Act whilst making decisions, but I'm unconvinced that they would be able to show that the Act influenced their decision. There seems to be no clear understanding by public bodies of what the Act requires them to do. Plainly, there hasn't been a real cultural shift, a shift of thinking, a shift of doing. I was happy to hear in a recent Welsh Government statement that they were redoubling their efforts to correct this and to accelerate the change needed to help refocus public bodies. However, this shift into real change within our communities needs to strengthen communities. One way to do that would be to give enforceability powers to the Act. What's the point of an Act if we cannot penalise anyone for breaching it? Public bodies can have wanton disregard to this Act and yet face no real consequences. Acts of Parliament ought to be enforceable and not merely aspirational.
