Delegates at this seminar discussed the future for local growth and regeneration in England.


With the Government seeking to encourage investment, focusing on the potential of growth across the country in areas such as the Northern Powerhouse, attendees considered how national policy priorities which aim to empower local communities to tailor their approach to economic development can be developed at a local level.


Sessions focussed on the opportunities and challenges for Local Enterprise Partnerships and their public and private sector partners to boost skills, support business and build more housing. The agenda also looked at access to finance via European funding and the latest round of Growth Deals, and the impact of regional devolution deals and growth hubs.
