Construction Disrupted Episode 138 - Local Plans, For Local People (28.10.26) in partnership with Adobe Acrobat Studio. Check them out and show them some love.In this episode, we're discussing regional leaders seeking control of housing and regeneration, to award-winning council homes that challenge low expectations of public delivery, and Heathrow’s attempt to convert a contested runway into thousands of skilled jobs. These stories expose the same fault line within construction - Big promises are plentiful; durable funding, delivery capacity and political consent are the harder parts. Let's go!What if Britain’s next construction boom is driven from the regions?Devolution could give construction a more dependable route from local ambition to viable projects, shifting influence away from Whitehall and towards regional leaders, councils and place-based partnerships. The opportunity is significant: better alignment of housing, transport, utilities, skills and regeneration could create clearer pipelines and faster delivery.But devolving power alone will not remove barriers. Regional authorities need planning, procurement and development expertise, long-term and flexible funding, and the ability to tailor solutions to local needs. The central test is whether capability and funding move with decision-making. The Accrington regeneration programme illustrates the potential when councils, consultants and communities work around a shared vision rather than institutional boundaries.Lion Green Road’s Stirling Prize victory is a timely political statement about the future of council housing deliveryLion Green Road’s Stirling Prize win puts the quality and ambition of council housing firmly in the spotlight. At a time when local authorities are again being asked to help tackle housing need, the recognition argues that publicly led housing should not be treated as a compromise in design, space or long-term value.The political message is that councils can deliver exemplary homes when they have the confidence, capacity and funding to do so. The challenge is turning an exceptional project into a repeatable model: sustained investment, capable delivery teams and procurement that protects design quality will matter as much as headline targets.Heathrow pitches 17,500 building jobs as runway doubts growHeathrow is pairing its third-runway case with a major skills offer: at least 17,500 local construction jobs at peak, 33,000 jobs across nine neighbouring boroughs by 2055, and 5,000 youth apprenticeships, traineeships and other entry routes. Its new Infrastructure Skills Council, training-centre role and expanded SME Academy are intended to prepare local people and firms for engineering, logistics and trade opportunities.The economic proposition is substantial, but it remains conditional on political support and a long planning process. While the chancellor backs the growth case, the prime minister has not endorsed expansion, and Heathrow now indicates a possible 2039 opening, four years later than originally targeted. The jobs programme strengthens the project’s local case, but does not resolve the runway’s core political uncertainty.BiosRyan Jones - SLG AgencyFor almost 20 years, Ryan’s focus has been on helping brands in the construction and manufacturing sectors tell their story.His career began in PR, working for global businesses across a variety of sectors, before opting to focus on construction and the built environment.In his role as Managing Director, Ryan works to ensure that SLG Agency continues to be one of the construction industry's leading specialist strategic and creative agencies, having seen its work recognised by the likes of Campaign, Marketing Week and The Drum in recent years.Ryan is regularly asked to speak at trade shows and events, and to contribute thought leadership pieces to trade media.

With two decades’ experience spanning manufacturers, contractors and agencies, he helps organisations swap scattergun activity for clear strategy, joined-up planning and measurable outcomes.His approach is practical and plain-spoken: cut the noise, focus on what moves the numbers, and build repeatable systems that teams can actually use.Having seen first-hand how unfocused tactics waste time and budget, Peter works with leaders to align commercial goals, customer insight and content so marketing supports delivery rather than distracting from it.Peter's passion lies in diagnosing organisations' marketing functions' capabilities and existing ...
