ADEPT has welcomed the vision set out by new Prime Minister Andy Burnham to put place first and put power into the hands of the people who know their areas best.
Katie Stewart, ADEPT President, said: “The new Prime Minister’s ambition for good growth in every British postcode is one that ADEPT shares and has long championed.
“Growth works best from the bottom up: decisions taken closer to communities consistently deliver better outcomes. Our members – the place directors leading environment, economy, planning and transport services across the country – know first-hand that sustainable growth, good housing and resilient infrastructure depend on local knowledge, local leadership and collaboration.”
