Economic Development Strategy Launched

A strategy has been launched to promote sustainable economic development over the next four years in the East Riding. The East Riding of Yorkshire Economic Development Strategy was launched by the East Riding of Yorkshire Local Strategic Partnership’s Economy and Skills Action Group at Brough Business Centre. The strategy sets out a long-term vision, strategic framework and an overview of the activities the Local Strategic Partnership will seek to promote between 2012 and 2016. The impact of the global financial crisis during 2007-2008 had wide ranging implications for the East Riding’s economy. Many businesses have seen trading conditions become more difficult, with demand falling and access to funding becoming more constrained. Delivery of economic development activity has also changed with a greater focus on local priority setting through Local Enterprise Partnerships, a removal of regional structures and competitive funding replacing programmed public sector funds. This strategy is sensitive to the current difficult market conditions and advocates activity to build the economic resilience of the East Riding and its businesses and workforce. Councillor Jane Evison, cabinet portfolio holder for economic development, tourism and rural issues at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “In spite of the uncertain economic climate, there are…

In less than two weeks, the opportunity to comment on the new draft Economic Development Strategy for the East Riding of Yorkshire will end.

‘Osborne is getting the big calls right’, says Graham Stuart MP

July 25, 2012
By

Graham Stuart, Member of Parliament for Beverley and Holderness, has backed the Government following the news that GDP has fallen by 0.7 per cent. Graham said, “These figures are disappointing, but the Government is on the right course and it is imperative that we stick with the plan. Our economy will take time to recover, but even more borrowing and spending can never be the solution. I am glad that a quarter of the spending deficit has already been eliminated. Reductions in government spending here are far less severe than in many of our competitors but are bringing our economy back into balance in a planned and deliberate manner. “By allowing the private sector to flourish we will see long term recovery. We have seen 800,000 private sector jobs created since the Coalition came to power. This is because the Government has cut red tape, simplified the tax system and lowered corporation tax to the most competitive level in the G20. The Funding for Lending scheme has been encouraging banks to make mortgages and loans cheaper and more easily available. “We have also acted to ensure that we will have a skilled workforce able to meet the challenges of the…

Have Your Say On Economic Development Strategy

July 16, 2012
By

The East Riding Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) has today released its draft economic development strategy for public consultation. The strategy, which was recently approved for consultation by the council’s cabinet, outlines the framework for economic development activity across the East Riding in the coming years. It will guide the LSP’s economic vision and is designed to communicate the key priorities required to deliver both economic growth and greater economic resilience for the area. Councillor Jane Evison, the council’s portfolio holder for economic development, tourism and rural issues, said: “Clearly there are constraints on likely available resources and growth in the present period of global economic uncertainty. However, our economic development strategy advocates an approach which promotes growth where it can be realised and also seeks to develop the economic resilience of the East Riding so that the area is better placed to respond to present and future market change. “I do urge businesses and residents to get involved and give their input into the draft strategy so that so that we have an agreed and robust way forward to work together for the East Riding and all its communities.” The strategy outlines three key strategic themes. These are: Connected Hinterland…
