"Communities and Local Government's work is at the heart of the Government's commitment to social justice - driving social mobility and promoting economic inclusion. My vision is of a Department on the side of people who want to make a difference, where everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential and to build a stake in society for them and their families. We want strong, cohesive communities in which people feel comfortable and proud to live, with a vibrant civic culture and strong local economy." Ruth Kelly, Secretary of State, July 2006
