One of the big areas of policy where I want t spend more time is the work on the economy and social justice.
Once again nothing I am doing is absolutely new and I have been talking to Paul Lindley about some of these ideas after he kindly shared his latest blog. Likewise Pul is not new to these ideas but perhaps the Coronavirus has created space for more people to think about not rushing back to Business as usual
Paul Lindley - Learnings and ideas on the Way we Could Do Business after eh COVID-19 crisis
I started my one journey on this topic in my first ever job, in economic regeneration at Leicester City Council. And now 30 years later I find myself retiring and spending voluntary time on our local LLEP once again trying to balance the local economy to serve both business, people and the environment.
Like Paul, what my 30 years in public life and as a small business is that trickle down economics doesn’t work and that business has responsibilities beyond the short term goals of their shareholders.
So over the next period Saje Impact will be spending equal amounts of time between campaigning on the issues of physical activity and a new economic settlement. As many will know the two issues are interdependent and not mutually exclusive.
