Written evidence from Encocam
LEP FOR CAMBRIDGESHIRE
Following my attendance to a local meeting to
discuss the need for an LEP for Cambridgeshire I felt that this
has been a waste of time.
In my opinion the only way we can make a difference
and make a radical change to the way services are provided and
meet the local business need will be as follows:
1. LEP should be based on membership, where local
businesses sign up to.
2. Committee members should be directly voted
in by member constituency.
3. There should be a quota for members from local
council, academia, large companies and SMEs.
4. Based on the geographical consideration, the
industry and commerce section should be represented proportionally
to their size for their local economy. And should be divided by
their proportion to their status as large companies and SME's.
5. Representatives should be from their sector
of their industry.
Failing that, my fear is that the same old people
and self appointed representatives would end up in the new LEPs.
