No accord on levelling up

An analysis by Localis calls the Government’s Plan for Growth ‘a centralist strategy’ in which ‘the question of devolution is not given much emphasis’. It's not surprising that confidence in the programme seems to be draining away, says Paul Marinko.

Think-tank Localis has become the latest organisation to pass judgement on Boris Johnson's levelling up agenda.

In keeping with others, its report – A Plan for Local Growth – is at best lukewarm in its support of the Conservative Government's Plan for Growth strategy.
