Old people are a “tension” for devolution – and so is happiness!

From a slide on a devolution workshop:

Tensions

Local and national government perspectives eg business rates reform and what must central government continue to lead

Small family businesses and ambition (lifestyle businesses) and do they have a role in transformation?

Productivity at what cost – not sacrificing the environment

Backing the ‘winners’ v spreading the jam

Other measures – e.g. happiness

Dealing with retirees

One thought on “Old people are a “tension” for devolution – and so is happiness!”

  1. I find it difficult to reconcile these two statements from the devolution workshop:
    “Prospectus anticipates 50k homes over and above current local plans”

    “Productivity at what cost – not sacrificing the environment”
