The HEY LEP will represent the region’s private sector in conversations with
Government on economic development and ensure the region’s influence is
maintained at NP11, Northern Powerhouse and Transport for the North as well as
looking for opportunities to collaborate on geographical or sector issues with
other parts of the UK and Yorkshire. The LEP appointed its first Board members
on March 31st 2021, made up of a diverse group of leaders from across local
business and the health, education, rural and voluntary communities, who will
now begin developing a new evidence-based local strategy. This strategy will
identify the actions needed to boost productivity, provide long term jobs and
secure inward investment and government support. The strategy will also focus on
the key priorities for funding and the allocation of resources to those
priorities, which are the most important to the economic wellbeing of the new
LEP geography. The LEP will also be charged with using its convening powers to
bring together partners from the private, public and other sectors, alongside
collaborating with a wide-range of local partners to act as an informed and
independent voice for Hull and East Yorkshire.
