Join us in this exclusive launch of the Suburban Taskforce report at the Palace of Westminster.

The ‘Suburban Taskforce’ was established in 2020 to help us understand what ‘suburban’ really means in modern Britain. It is formed by a cross-party group of politicians who have come together with experts from a range of backgrounds to shine a light on the suburbs to identify and secure the clear, long-term and properly resourced policies needed to support thriving, sustainable and inclusive suburban areas. 

 

The Taskforce is pleased to present a report that reviews the current estate of the English suburbs and includes recommendations which focus on the ways our suburbs are understood and to ensure that the change within them is meaningful. How should we understand and manage change within the suburbs? How can we increase public engagement in the planning process of suburban areas?
