On 23rd October 2007 the Sustainable Communities Act became law and put in motion a new process where local communities and their local authorities (including county councils) can drive central government policy and action on reversing community decline and promoting local sustainablility. Local authorities will be invited to 'opt in' to make proposals on how central government can help promote local sustainability.
The Act could help communities to:
- keep essential services like post offices open
- promote small businesses by increasing the rate relief they receive
- promoting renewable energy and promoting local food and other products
