Local Enterprise Partnerships: 24 steps forward

As 24 Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) set about developing their boards, the Government White Paper "Local growth: realising every place's potential" gives more clues about their role.

Wragge & Co's Regeneration team examines the framework for the new LEPs, and the key responsibilities and challenges they face in an expert analysis. They also review how the setting-up of the new boards integrates with the abolition of Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) outside London and the implications for the transfer of RDA assets and liabilities.
