Nuclear free local authorities

Service Outline

Manchester City Council first carried a resolution declaring the City a nuclear free zone in November 1980. Many local authorities followed Manchester's example and a national nuclear free local authorities (NFLA) organisation, under the City's leadership, was set up.

Presently over 75 councils across the UK support NFLA policy work coordinated by a secretariat hosted by Manchester City Council.

NFLA work is directed towards improving public and environmental protection. These objectives are pursued in practical ways by engaging with civil society, wider local government, government departments, national and devolved administrations, European institutions, regulatory bodies, industry and other organisations in the nuclear field.
