One dominant theme in the recent UK election debates has been regeneration and how to tackle regional inequality. Amid Labour’s plans to kickstart economic growth, the party has ditched the phrase “levelling up” and promised instead to “power up Britain” though a proposed take back control act, which would seek to provide a framework for devolution throughout England.
Labour also proposes introducing new local growth plans and a new community right-to-buy scheme. The idea is to enable communities to regenerate empty shops, pubs and community spaces.
