Levelling up our communities: proposals for a new social covenant

This report sets out ‘a series of proposals to sustain the community spirit we have seen during the coronavirus pandemic.’ It asserts that a new era, which is now beginning, of economic and social policy must address the UK’s regional and social inequality by ‘putting communities at the heart of policy making.’  It also sets out proposals for a new social covenant that centres on a vision for a more local, more human, less bureaucratic, less centralised society in which people are supported and empowered to play an active role in their neighbourhoods.
