In the community's best interest - 2002 - Regeneration and Renewal 30 August 2002, 10(1) .

Highlights the difficulty local authorities have in undertaking urban regeneration. The Local Government Act 1972 s123 prevents local authorities from selling the land assets they have for anything other than the highest cash price. Points out that the Local Government Act 2000 improves this position by giving local authorities a responsibility for the social, economic and environmental well-being of communities. Argues for the amendment of s123 to accord with the Local Government Act 2000.
