Written evidence from Yorkshire and The
Humber Rural Affairs Forum
The Yorkshire and The Humber Rural Affairs Forum
welcomes the opportunity to comment on the New Local Enterprise
Partnerships.
The Forum has commented via the Yorkshire &
Humber Stakeholders Group. The Forum would however like to make
the following comment in addition:
Many Local Enterprise Partnerships will have
both an urban and rural dimension. It is important
that rural businesses are properly represented and that organisations
representing rural interests are an inherent part of the process.
In addition, processes and procedures associated with Local Enterprise
Partnerships should enable rural-proofing of investment
and other decisions. Some good work has been done in the Humber
Sub-Region through work on the Hull & Humber Ports City-Region
Rural Strategy to secure strong and effective rural input to the
City-Region Development Programme. The work is held-up as an exemplar
in its field.
