Going Places with Steve Reed: Mary Portas

This is a series about place—the towns, cities and communities we live in, and what makes them work. Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government Steve Reed speaks to real people who are passionate about shaping towns, villages, cities and high streets. Because when we talk about growth, housing, regeneration—these aren’t abstract ideas. They’re about real places, and real lives. This episode we’re joined by Mary Portas, who’s been at the centre of the conversation about Britain’s high streets for years. Join us as we talk about to move beyond retail to building high streets around services, community and everyday life. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is central to the mission-driven government, from fixing the foundations of an affordable home to handing power back to communities and rebuilding local governments.
