In its 2021 Budget, the government asked the Commission to undertake a new study looking specifically at the role of infrastructure in helping towns and urban areas outside major cities. The new study will have a particular focus on the role of transport and digital infrastructure in boosting economic regeneration and levelling up.
More details about the study, and its terms of reference, can be found on the study page. The Commission will produce its final report and recommendations in September 2021.
