Extending Localisation - an exploratory report

Next Steps

The potential recommendations on these webpages are some of our initial areas for investigation. In the next stage, LWM is investigating what else is being done on localisation within the region, by local authorities and others, and will analyse and develop these findings into firmer strategies for extending localisation, within and beyond the region. We would welcome any evidence, examples, arguments or other input to this process.

  • What is your local authority or organisation doing to support local supply chains, independent businesses and local circulation of money?
  • Do you think there are other recommendations we can draw from the trends and examples given, or from your own experience?
  • Are there any more useful case studies of localised economic activity you can point us to?
  • Is there anything you disagree with? or are there inaccuracies in the trends and examples?
  • What else might you need to support or implement positive localised economic activity?
  • What further work should we do to build a case for greater policy attention to localisation?
