Recommendation (the committee's words)
The Investment Zone policy geared local government up to the prospect of additional funding before the goalposts were moved. Whilst we appreciate that policies sometimes necessarily evolve over time, every effort must be made to ensure that a similar situation does not occur in the future, resulting in a waste of time, effort and money for many local authorities which are already hard pressed and likewise for civil servants within DLUHC.
