Stage One
Evidence Review
We have now completed the first stage of the project reviewing the existing evidence base. As well as considering academic work regarding the contributions that local stores make to their communities, the review also considers trade press coverage of relevant topics and the ideas generated by a programme of informal store visits that have taken place since the project began. The review report summarises the evidence available and also highlights gaps that exist that may provide opportunities for research by the KTP project team.
