Local authority assets can play a major part in revitalising the UK's ailing town centres, but this is being overlooked in current national policy, according to a report published today by the Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE).
The report, The role and value of local authority assets in town centres, is based on work for APSE by the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES), which demonstrates the strategic, place-making, economic, social and environmental benefits local government assets bring to town centres. It contains practical tools for measuring and maximising the potential of local authority assets to help address the crisis facing town centres and sets out recommendations for action at a national and local level.
