Finding a silver lining

Local and national government need to adopt a new economic policy that includes all of society and councils need to be on the front foot to lead this agenda, says Paul Watson

We have our result now and it is our duty to make the most of departure from the European Union. I do not for a moment underestimate the challenge we face, but my feeling is we now have to focus on finding silver linings in times of political turmoil and economic uncertainty.
