Because no one party can speak for the whole of Britain.
Because the value of our vote shouldn't depend on our postcode.
Because we want to be able to vote for what we truly believe in.
Because governments make better decisions when every voice is heard.
We need #PRnow

Locality CEO Tony Armstrong responds to the #SpendingReview:
“It's disappointing to see the absence of funding for community ownership. Renewal can only happen with direct involvement of local people. Govt must set out a clear way forward on how to put community power at the top of the agenda.”
