Research

This is where we’ll publish our reports, briefings and evaluations as they’re completed. Our work spans litter, fly-tipping, disposable vapes, nitrous oxide and neighbourhood noise, the effects of the under-16 energy drink sales ban, gig economy work, and why some councils get better results than others.

Publications

Illustrative preview — our first reports are still in progress. This is what they’ll look like once published.
