The document presents data and insights from Ipsos Mori on public sentiment regarding governance, local service provision, and trust in government among British adults, highlighting the significance of localism and the varying levels of trust in different institutions. It discusses trends in public pride, economic concerns, and the perception of public services, illustrating an ongoing demand for greater local control and satisfaction with local councils over national government. Satisfaction ratings reveal a general distrust in central government, while there is a desire for more direct involvement in local decision-making processes.
