Introduction
Partners across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent are pleased to announce the formation of the Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP)
Our aim is to create a powerful partnership combining the strengths of the public and private sectors to deliver the scale of growth needed to rebalance the local economy.
The focus will be on enterprise and innovation with an aim to unlock the potential of the private sector to create employment and wealth and begin growing, restructuring or sustaining the local economy. Creating the right environment in which businesses can invest and grow will be central to the success of the partnership.
The scope of the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire LEP will include economic development, skills, planning, housing, transport, tourism and the transition to the low carbon economy.
