Local Authorities

Local authorities have a vital role to play in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Through their role as community leaders, service providers and as the local planning authority, local authorities can help to tackle climate change across the breadth of their activities.

The Energy Saving Trust's Practical help service offers a range of advice, support and services designed specifically for local authorities to help meet the challenge. To find out more about the range of services available please visit our Support services pages on the left. If you can't find what you're looking for or need further assistance, call our Practical help enquiry line on 0844 84 888 30 or email us.

To find out key updates and new additions to the Local authorities website please visit our Local authority news page.
