Sustainable Communities Act allows councils, after taking
advice from local people, to put forward proposals for
government action that will help local communities to be more
sustainable and offer better quality of life.
It provides a way that local people
can ask central government to take action. It is aimed at
helping to change the environment that people live in by giving
them the power to change things they don’t like.
