National economic growth can only be achieved if every local economy is firing on all cylinders, the LGA has said in response to the Chancellor’s speech pledging to ‘kick-start economic growth’. Cllr Louise Gittins, LGA Chair, said: “Councils have a unique role in delivering local growth across all sectors and communities, and are already working with businesses, supporting jobseekers, planning regeneration, and improving infrastructure. Government investment is therefore key to supporting long-term, sustainable, inclusive economic growth that brings increased prosperity to every part of the country.”
