As new analysis published this morning by the think tank Onward shows, places covered by town or parish councils typically have a stronger social fabric, enjoying on average five times as many local assets of community value and higher rates of volunteering and charitable giving.
The point is that when people are given the tools to level up their community, they can achieve far more than a Whitehall strategy document. But tragically, not everyone enjoys this privilege.”
