David Cameron has included local government planners among the ‘enemies of entrprise’.
In the speech to the party conference on 6 March he said:
‘So I can announce today that we are taking on the enemies of enterprise.
The bureaucrats in government departments who concoct those ridiculous rules and regulations that make life impossible, particularly for small firms.
The town hall officials who take forever with those planning decisions that can be make or break for a business – and the investment and jobs that go with it.
The public sector procurement managers who think that the answer to everything is a big contract with a big business and who shut out millions of Britain’s small and medium sized companies from a massive potential market.’
