It was perhaps inevitable that after its long development period, following multiple levelling up funding announcements and the creation of the creation of Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, that the eventual document would not meet everyone’s expectations. Yet I can’t help but feel optimistic that the launch of the levelling up white paper signalled a clear stated policy commitment to tackling inequality in the UK, positioned as a long-term shared agenda. While this is significant, and a strong starting point, we need to ensure this translates into action, and our sector has a key role to play.
