Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) along with the Regional Growth Fund are expected to underpin future regeneration activity, covering real economic areas and as Cable and Pickles outlined creating the right environment for business and growth`. Greg Clark described them as joint local authority and business-led organisations that match economic reality on the ground and can make a real difference`.
With proposals for setting up LEPs due in on 6th September and a White Paper expected very shortly, this seminar examines the structure of LEPs, what they can be used to deliver and the implications for economic development and regeneration in the future.
