Local organisations to promote sustainable construction and design have been set up in

Somerset - Ecos Trust (formerly STSD)
Cornwall - Cornwall Trust for Sustainable Building
Dorset - Dorset LA21
Devon - Devon Sustainable Building Initiative

In addition Wiltshire RIBA and Wiltshire Agenda 21 are active in similar work and in Bristol the city council and the CREATE Centre do a lot to promote sustainable building.

These local organisations are working together to share resources, expertise and lobby for stronger regional policies and promotion of sustainable building.

The regional network site has resources, information and forums.
