What we liked?

SWM was involved in working with Coventry Partnership in taking our work on a low carbon 2020 vision and applying it to Coventry. This involved a series of commissions with stakeholders on developing the ideas, applying them to Coventry, and developing their own local vision and actions. This has been subsequently fed into a conference and the emerging Local Enterprise Partnership – a great foundation for the future.
