NESTA have selected seventeen councils to go through to the next stage of their Creative Councils programme. Over the next few months, these councils will receive practical support to challenge and develop their idea.

There will also be opportunities for more of the applicant councils to get involved in some of the programme activities, and lessons and practical tools will be shared with all councils across England and Wales throughout the lifetime of the programme.

The chosen councils are:

• Brighton and Hove
• Bristol
• Cambridgeshire
• Cornwall
• Derbyshire
• Essex
• London Borough of Havering
• London Borough of Havering
• Leicester
• Monmouthshire
• Reading
• Rossendale
• Rotherham
• Stoke on Trent
• Westminster
• Wigan

Creative Councils is a new programme from NESTA, working with the Local Government Group, to support local authorities to develop and implement radical innovations that meet the challenges of tomorrow.
