1. For a LA (District/ Unitary) to be covered by a LEP either the LA (District/ Unitary) or the LA (County/ Unitary), in which the LA (District/ Unitary) sits, must be full members of the LEP. If the LA (County/ Unitary) is a full member only the LA (District/ Unitary) stated in the LEP application are included (not the necessarily the entirety of the LA (County/ Unitary)). Therefore a list of LA (District/ Unitary) covered by LEPs does not necessarily align with membership. 2. Those Local Authorities which are coloured in pink overlap with another LEP. 3. 37 local authorities (11 per cent) are covered by two LEPs and in the Norfolk & Norwich Festival (Bridge) area these include: Forest Heath, King's Lynn and West Norfolk and St Edmundsbury. Care should be taken when trying to calculate an all LEPs total to ensure no double counting is involved. Local authorities in more than one LEP should only be included once. www.bis.gov.uk/policies/economic-development/leps/statistics
