Levelling Up

The UK is one of the most centralised states among modern democracies. We need to campaign on spreading power and control more widely.

“Localis” is an independent group researching and working on “neo localism” which looks at devolving political and Economic power in new ways:

“Growing the Grassroots” is a campaigning Organisation dedicated to strengthening local community groups:

Levelling up funding

Most information on Levelling Up funds is published by the government centrally.  Local Authorities may have their own “Levelling up” departments which publish information about what is being done in their area. An example from Pendle:

The Local Government Association also publishes information about “Levelling Up” here:

However, any government information needs to be checked against fact-checkers; the BBC “Reality check” does this from time to time:
