Climate change information by local councils in South West England

=== The overall picture ===
Of the 47 websites for the 51 local councils in this region, 13 (28%) are listed as having some information which ordinary concerned citizens might easily find, (with a further 2 linking to a county council webpage). Although this proportion may be slightly higher than for some other regions of the UK, it may not always be very easy to tell how up-to-date the information provided is, what actions are current, and how ordinary concerned citizens and community groups can get involved. If local councils or their strategic partners are in receipt of grants to promote action on climate change, it would not seem unreasonable to expect information of reasonable quality (clear, basic, up-to-date details with good links to further information) on appropriate council websites.
