ADEPT President Ann Carruthers has sent a message to the new government-that the case for place has never been more critical with many challenges such as decarbonisation.

She said: “ADEPT would like to congratulate the elected representatives following the outcome of the general election. 

“The case for place has never been more critical – achieving net zero, climate adaptation and nature recovery while supporting a strong economy requires a place based approach.

“ADEPT urges the new government to adopt the strategic objectives outlined in our Manifesto for Stronger Places, for more ambitious devolution across the country, multi-year streamlined funding and a genuine commitment to sustainable growth. 

“We look forward to working collaboratively to achieve these goals and ensure the delivery of positive outcomes for our communities and places.”
