Localism in the UK

Localism in the UK refers to the approach of empowering local communities and authorities to have more control over decisions and services that affect their area. It emphasizes decentralizing power from national government to local councils, neighborhoods, and community groups, enabling tailored solutions that reflect local needs and preferences. This approach aims to foster stronger community engagement, increase accountability, and promote sustainable development. While it supports local autonomy, it also involves balancing local interests with broader national policies and resources.
