Has your council used the Act? - these maps will tell you

On 31 July 2009 100 Councils (district/borough/city and county) across England submitted proposals in the Sustainable Communities Act's 'first round' to combat community decline. A further 45 Councils have resolved to submit proposals in future rounds.

You can only use the radical new bottom-up powers in the Sustainable Communities Act if your council/s chooses to use it too! The maps and list below show the councils that have used the Act or are committed to using it in the future. If your council/s have not already committed to using the Act please write to them (and urge others to write too!), this sample letter will help you.

Maps of the areas covered by councils which have agreed to use the Act this year can be viewed here.

A full list along with those Councils committed to using the Act in future rounds can be viewed here.

Note: the Sustainable Communities Act currently applies to England only
