Covid-19 Updates
ADEPT is working hard with partners across the private and public sector to support members through this crisis. We are also working closely with government departments to influence government decision making and policy.
Some of our work has included providing data through surveys and supplying information to members.
We have set up the Economic Recovery & Renewal Task Force to ensure that the economic recovery and renewal of our places takes a joined up, place-based approach that considers low carbon and climate resilient infrastructure, as well as the socio-economic needs of our communities. It will provide a valuable resource for members and an evidence base from which to develop our future policy positions.
This page brings together our work so far and also provides Covid-19 related updates.
