“CLES and Preston City Council report that the share of anchor procurement spent in Preston rose from 5% (2012/13) to 18.2% (2016/17), and in Lancashire from 39% to 79.2%.”
Context. Figures are self-reported by the programme's promoters; the group of anchors changed when UCLan joined in 2014, and they do not by themselves show causation.
