SuperLocal is where leaders and decision-makers come together to tackle the most important challenges facing communities.
This year, our focus is localism — harnessing the power, knowledge, skills and lived experiences of local people to solve local problems. The opposite of centralisation, localism moves decisions and delivery closer to communities via councils.
