As the Government takes on the difficult challenge of backing narrative with policy through the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, Cavendish Advocacy’s and BECG’s latest report looks at what successful Levelling Up looks like to MPs, set against what the public hold as important for their local area and the implications the agenda will have for development and planning.
