	Conducted by the think tank Demos, the report found that 65% of the working population were forced to change their place of work during 2020 as a result of the pandemic. Of these, 79% want to continue to have some form of remote working in the future. However, the findings - taken from a large, nationally representative poll of 20,000 adults - indicate that a desire to work remotely is not necessarily the same as wanting to work from home all of the time.

−	Relatively high levels of support were recorded for ‘local desk space’~~.

−	The report suggests there is an opportunity for the Government and businesses to support more hybrid working and flexible local desk space, to give people the options they prefer and ~~also make~~ progress on the 'levelling up' agenda. It is also thought the move could help to spread spending power across a wider geographic area.	+	The report suggests there is an opportunity for the Government and businesses to support more hybrid working and flexible local desk space, to give people the options they prefer and to progress the 'levelling up' agenda.

−	This has been demonstrated through HMRC’s Government Hubs programme, which has seen the establishment of 11 regional offices across the UK. In Cardiff, for example, the ‘Central Square’ Hub played a role in the city centre’s transformation, supporting an estimated increase in economic wealth of £1.1bn over 10 years~~.
