Aim
The aim of NNLAG is to provide a supportive national network for local authorities that are or likely to be affected by new nuclear development to make representation direct to Government and elsewhere on all matters related to nuclear new build and advanced nuclear technologies, including the production of nuclear-related hydrogen and other low carbon synthetic fuels, and nuclear-related transmission projects.
Key activities/outcomes of work undertaken
- Be the principal local authority forum for debate and the sharing of knowledge, experience and best practice on new nuclear development.
- Facilitate access to advice and the sharing of knowledge, experience and best practice on new nuclear development between member local authorities.
- Seek to influence national policy, strategy and practice for new nuclear development in the interests of affected communities.
- Provide a mechanism to identify, where possible, a common local government view on all key matters related to new nuclear development.
- Represent that view, or the range of views from our member local authorities, in discussion with national bodies, including Government, Great British Nuclear, UKAEA, industry and the nuclear and energy regulators.
- Develop the capacity of our member local authorities to engage with new nuclear development at the local level.
