Local Works is the campaign coalition behind the Sustainable Communities Bill. The Sustainable Communities Bill is a piece of legislation that, if made law, will help to reverse the trend called 'Ghost Town Britain'. Ghost Town Britain refers to the ongoing community decline through loss of local facilities and services including amongst others: shops, markets, post offices, pubs, banks and health centres. The term 'Ghost Town Britain' was initially coined by the British think-tank New Economics Foundation in two reports: Ghost Town Britain (2002) and Clone Town Britain (2004). __TOC__
