‘Counties should deliver industrial strategy’, urges thinktank

County councils need to take a leading role in delivering the government’s industrial strategy, according to thinktank Localis. In a report this week, Localis said that there is a current lack of clarity from government about how the strategy will be delivered outside combined authorities. It said that, “unlike areas with mayoral-combined authorities, the strategic authority (most often the county council) is not embedded into the local industrial strategy process apart from their existing links through LEPs. This is a huge weakness in government’s approach to industrial strategy.”
