‘Levelling-up white paper lacks serious ambition’

Mary-Anne Bowring, group managing director at Ringley, comments:  “The government’s levelling-up white paper lacks serious ambition with little to no new money introduced to create a level playing field across the UK.

“Many people in the UK are struggling with a rise in the cost of living as energy prices, amongst others, continue to soar.

“The abolishment of Section 21, which ends the unfair situation where renters can be kicked out of their homes for no reason, is certainly positive, however, the government needs to do more to protect those most vulnerable in a time of economic change.”
