Webinar: Building back Britain and levelling up

To what extent can the challenges facing UK coastal communities be addressed?
The UK government has declared a commitment, through its Industrial Strategy White Paper (HM Government, 2017) and 'Build Back Better' (2021), to address inequalities and 'level up' across the whole of the UK, ensuring that no community is left behind, particularly as we recover from COVID-19. 
However, given there has been limited investigation of the problems experienced in widely varying coastal settlements across different parts of the country, this webinar considers the extent to which Build Back Better and the levelling up agendas can indeed address the challenges facing UK coastal communities.
