Government & Philosophy
What we stand for:
Localism.
We have published a series of influential reports making the case for the devolution of power and control. The Decline and Fall of Local Democracy; I’m a Local Councillor, Get Me Out of Here; and Nothing to Lose But Your Chains traced the weaknesses of the local government finance system and argued for giving councils greater financial independence.
Big Bang Localism argued for a transfer of powers to local authorities with a speed and radicalism comparable to the City of London reforms of the mid 1980s.
