Emeritus Professor of City Leadership Robin Hambleton Robin.Hambleton@uwe.ac.uk
Strengthening the power of place in modern societies is essential if we want to co-create fair and sustainable ways of living. In the UK context this means giving a really significant boost to the tax raising powers of elected local governments. This article explains how power in the UK has been super-centralised in the period since 1983. Looking ahead it reviews proposals now being discussed to restore trust in politics by rebalancing local/central power relations in Britain.
