This report from UK think tank New Local looks at the case for community-powered conservatism.

New Local and the New Social Covenant Unit are pleased to co-publish this report by 10 Conservative MPs from the 2019 intake, making the case for community power as the future of the party. Trusting the People explores how to level up the country through a ‘double devolution’ to councils and communities. It includes recommendations on how to trust the people to transform our public services, run a stronger economy, and build stronger communities.
