The Coalition Government is entering a new and exciting phase in which a commitment to widespread national economic growth and prosperity is taking centre stage. Published in March and November last year respectively, the Plan for Growth and Localism Act detail plans to shift many executive political powers from central government to collaborating local authorities, communities and businesses, empowering them with fiscal responsibility and incentive to develop their own infrastructures. A £2.4bn Regional Growth Fund has been specifically created with the aim of stimulating the sustainable regeneration of business, retail, transport, tourism and housing across the whole of Britain through local initiatives.

Going for Growth: Stimulating Sustainable Local Regeneration offers the most up-to-date information about the progress and future direction of the government's localised growth initiatives. Our programme of high-profile speakers will give experienced insight and examples of how these measures will influence the practical delivery of public services so that they are truly tailored to the needs of a local area.
