Where next for Lib Dem thinking on the localism agenda? This pamphlet – part of a series from leading thinkers in each of the three main political parties – answers this question, detailing the grassroots experience of Lib Dem councillors and exploring further where national policy is heading.
Devising new ways to make devolution a reality is at the core of the contributions in this pamphlet, with a particular focus on the practical neighbourhood issues likely to make
a difference to real lives.
In a series of thoughtful contributions free from partisan rhetoric, the authors deal with
the challenges of economic and social change, practical constitutional questions, and the implications for campaigning.
New Local Government Network, as a non-party independent not-for-profit think tank, is delighted to host this broadening debate in all corners and all parties, pressing for a stronger commitment to devolution and a localist approach from the decision-makers of today and tomorrow.
