No precarious work that is short term and low paid that causes anxiety in the population. We need A moral economy that offers meaningful work with career progression that offers a way out of poverty. Also an economy that will help to rebuild and renew our communities in a social sense through youth work, adult and social care,  adult education, food poverty, support for those experiencing this pandemic crises  that is moving families into poverty. Support workers in primary and secondary schools and housing workers to prevent homelessness and welfare workers to support people with welfare and applications. Restoration of a VCS  infrastructure.

No further increase in socio-economic and health inequalities and especially no increase in child poverty.

The North has always lead the way, whether it be the TU movement or co-operatives and it continues to do so. We all know that power is best when closest to the people so we should continue to show this in practice as well as asking for more. Perhaps then we will have more of a permanent devolved settlement if that case is still clear and benefiting out communities!

Really good concluding discussion. Lots of key points about how to ensure 'real devolution'. It is clear that local poeple should be at the heart of decision making and we have discussed many ways to achieve this. Great to here the focus on skills and how CA could and should be leading on this and that they are best to deliver this and should be supported to do this. Over centralisation does not work and collaboration between all layers of Gov works best!

We need to work on a supportive 'tough love' culture whilst managing political correctness (that has caused the passive-aggressive, abuse of welfare and cancel cultures that is prevalent).

Differences (disability, cultural/ethnic origins and understanding, literacy, etc) need to be considered in this cultural change... but in a positive way to ensure that these are harnessed to our economic and cultural advantage.

For too long government, even at local level, do not listen or connect with stakeholders. They have preferred to work in isolation with and on systems that have long-ago become onerous and prone to abuse.

We need to engage/connect and work with our large volunteer support groups within area organisations, whilst improving and closing gaps in our systems. This is the only way we will be able to succeed in the coming years.

We've heard the 'give them a voice' before. But cancel culture is gaining traction. We need to truly allow voices to be heard and listened to, and ensure associated actions to ensure equality, inclusion and cohesion even across our apparent differences in ability, colour, ethnic roots, sexual orientation, religion, political affiliation .... and yes, even football team affiliations!

Zoom has shrunk the UK, no more expensive trips to London. The best jobs don't need to be in London, they can be UP NORTH. we've proved it.

Everyone has had up days and down days. More people are talking about mental health, sharing experiences, feeling more confident to acknowledge how they feel.

People have had more time to listen to others, they've meant it when they've asked "how are you today?

The bonds between members of our communities is something we should treasure and protect but we should not accept any attempts to divide us-especially scapegoating of certain groups eg. young people

Black lives matter in Northern cities and towns, I am ashamed of the unfairness and injustice and the North must not tolerate this any longer!!

Working from home has enabled working families to balance their work-life commitments more effectively. This period in time has been a social experiment on a grand scale, demonstrating that when we need to we CAN
flex our business models and trust workers to do their jobs from their own homes.

An increased sense community has been an unexpected 'perk' of the Covid pandemic. We've seen neighbours forge strong alliances and wonderful projects emerge like alleyway communal gardens.

from where PPE money has been spent, to why the North wasn't resourced under Tier 3, the acceptance of a lack of accountability among people in power cannot continue

Not everyone can access services online. The cost of wifi / data is beyond people on UC. We can teach skills but we can't tolerate the lack of access to equipment in peoples' homes, we need a community wifi solution for all!

'Build back better' has to include being healthy and out from behind the screen again, bringing people together to support each other

Not in build build build, the economic growth model of the past needs to be replaced with investment in care, green energy, climate protection, education, health. We can't tolerate the same old same old, shiny new buildings VS community investment

how do we remember how important it felt to be asked if you're OK? do you need help? or do that for someone else. We need to preserve that

not to mention how much money I've saved on petrol, the impact on the planet and the healthier things I can do instead
