There is something oddly nostalgic about the policy document Localis released in September. Not just because Recovery and Renewal on the Kent High Street harks back to the heady days of Boris Johnson's Government, Levelling Up and Building Back Better. It is probably too early to say what prime minister Liz Truss' long-term strategy will be but the beleaguered Growth Plan 2022 makes no mention of either phrase outside of the eponymous department and funds. Localis discusses the pressing but 'well-rehearsed challenges' facing local authorities when it comes to saving the high street from online shopping, the 'outdated' business rates regime and the over-expansion of out-of-town retail. |
