E-Bulletins Guide
Nowadays many of us sign-up for email bulletins to keep up-to-date with specific areas relating to our work. There are a growing number of them out there and selecting one or two which may be relevant is a good way to ensure you are connected to the latest news, ideas and developments to help inform your work.
For this reason, we have brought together here a selection of bulletins which have been recommended by experts and practitioners across the region. It features only those that the regeneration and intelligence community in the South West have found useful.
Browse the list below and see if there are any you might like to trial for a while - or recommend to colleagues working in your area.
If there are just three which you sign up for then we recommend the

evidence sources as they become available.
