A year on from the publication of the Levelling Up White Paper, this report reviews the progress of the levelling up agenda from the perspective of communities and community businesses, and nationally. It includes insight from new interviews with community business leaders and new public polling. The report concludes by making recommendations for policymakers, based on our analysis of progress in four key areas: levelling up funding; devolution and community power; high streets and pride in place; and community ownership.
