Manifesto

In the run up to the 2024 General Election, the Institute of Economic Development (iED) launched a “radical agenda for change”, as it stepped up its work for councils to be given statutory powers over economic development.

The Institute has an overarching call for economic development to be formally recognised as a statutory function provided by local authorities in Grow Local, Grow National, and a series of recommendations, sitting within six supporting pillars, which are deemed “critical for success”.
