£20 million ‘new deal’ allocation for Leicester and Leicestershire THE LEICESTER and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership Ltd. (LLEP) has been awarded £20 million as part of the government’s ‘Getting Building’ fund. The funding is to be allocated to key infrastructure projects within Leicester and Leicestershire, in a bid to aid recovery post-COVID19. On 30 June, Prime Minister Boris Johnson delivered a landmark speech in which he outlined plans to “get Britain building again.” The proposals put forward form what he termed a “new deal” for the UK economy, with infrastructure projects at its centre. To this end, the government has granted Leicester and Leicestershire a £20 million slice of an initial £900 million national pot of funding. The LLEP has been tasked with identifying where this money will be invested, in line with its key economic priorities. When applying for funding, the LLEP identified £90 million-worth of potential projects. This therefore means that the organisation now has an important task to identify which of these is of the highest priority for investment of the £20 million allocation. This will be determined based on which projects will have the greatest impact on the region’s economic growth, both in the short- and long-term. These considerations will be the key topic for discussion at the next meeting of the LLEP Board of Directors. TURN TO PAGE 2 ...>
