Let’s Make Britain Better is an independent platform where evidence-based policy meets public action. We turn rigorous research into practical proposals designed to raise living standards, protect public health and accelerate Britain’s transition to a high-growth, low-carbon economy.

Every paper we publish is supported by verifiable data and written to be accessible to time-pressed professionals and concerned citizens alike.

Our current initiatives tackle three systemic bottlenecks:

• Fairer prescription charges — moving from a per-item fee to a condition-based model so that chronic illness no longer carries a financial penalty.
• Rewarding flexible labour — setting a statutory overtime floor of 1.25 × the National Living Wage for zero-hours contracts, closing loopholes that depress real pay.
• Cleaner, safer transport — mandating stop-start technology on new buses and establishing a minimum safe-passing distance for cyclists to cut emissions, noise and accidents.

Why do these changes matter?

Targeted interventions of this kind can add billions to productivity, relieve NHS pressures and ensure that economic growth is distributed more evenly across the country. By uniting expert analysis with grassroots petitions we give legislators the data, mandate and momentum to act.
