Minister for Communities and Local Government, David Miliband MP, has called for community groups to be given extra rights to buy derelict or disused land to drive regeneration. Speaking at the British Urban Regeneration Association (BURA) annual conference, Mr Miliband said that community groups should be given first refusal to buy derelict council property, before developers could make an offer, in the same manner as the "Community Right to Buy" legislation in Scotland. This community ownership, to build parks, children's playgrounds, youth centres and other community focused centres, would "help generate trust amongst residents and so establish norms of decent behaviour and respect."
