The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) has called on local (parish and town) councils to complete a survey on the role of business in place-based regeneration.
With many local councils increasingly working with businesses in their community, the survey, which closes on 24 November 2021, will examine several key themes, which includes:
- Understanding the key drivers and barriers for business engagement
- Facilitating cross-sector working
- Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic
- How businesses can have a transformative impact in their communities
The Business in the Community Place Taskforce leads the call for evidence. The Business in the Community (BITC) is the largest and longest established business-led membership organisation dedicated to responsible business. BITC is setting out to capture and showcase what works in transforming the prospects of a place to create a blueprint for business engagement in place-based transformation, with the findings shared in a report next year.
