In January 2011 the following key areas of focus were agreed by the Project Board:

     – Skills and employment
     – Strategic economic vision, infrastructure, housing and planning
     – Economic development and support for high growth business
     – Funding, including EU funding, regional growth funding and private sector funding

These priority areas reflect those identified by local businesses at our first Summit in November 2010 as a way of removing the key barriers to economic growth in our area, and agreed by our Board at their first meeting in April 2011.

Our Board will now be working with others to develop these areas of focus further, and we will update this website with the latest information as it becomes available.
