Local government regeneration survey

Welcome to the third LGC Local Government Regeneration Survey, in partnership with Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC), which aims to help us understand the challenges local and regional government are facing in regenerating their local areas.
The survey should only take 4-5 minutes to complete, and covers issues including access to funding, barriers, progress of projects and market sentiment. You can read the results of the first and second surveys here and here.
