The Sustainable Communities Act allows councils, after taking advice from local people, to present proposals for government action that will help local communities to be more sustainable and offer better quality of life. The Act aims to provide a channel to propose changes to improve the economic, social or environmental well-being of an area, including participation in civic or political activity.
It is aimed at givng people the power to change the environment they live in.
Local councils are invited to make proposals to central government as to how it can help them promote the sustainability of local communities. To do this, councils need to talk to local people to find out what would help them.
