Recommendation
The Government should clarify whether a new structure will replace Local Industrial Strategies, or what form local growth plans will take in future. This would help to ensure a strategic approach can be taken to distributing funding through levelling up and community investment programmes including the Shared Prosperity Fund. Local growth plans should serve as a focal point for future strategic conversations about industrial policy—both at a local level, and between local and national government.
