The Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership (C2C LEP) has launched a consultation on the economic profile of the area. This analysis will inform C2C’s Local Industrial Strategy which will be negotiated with Government early next year and, when published, will prioritise intervention and investment in the local area. The LEP believe that it is vital that the economic profile accurately reflects the diverse nature of the C2C economy and can demonstrate to Government the area’s strengths and opportunities for economic growth. The consultation is informed by updated data sets and five specific research studies on urban centres; skills and the labour market; commercial property; innovation ecosystems and digital connectivity. The consultation closes on 31 October 2019.
