I thank our visitors for being here and giving us the opportunity to pick their brains. I will not go over many of the questions that were asked by my colleagues. One of my big issues is around the derelict sites levy. The Derelict Sites Act came in in 1990 yet the vast majority of local authorities are either not collecting anything or only a fraction of what they should. How can we be sure that the non-collection of the levy from the derelict sites does not happen in this case? Do the managers see that as being an issue?
