South East

 

Background 

The South East LEP is a partnership of leaders – from the business community and from local authorities with their democratic mandates – and will perform a leadership role. This leadership role means acting as strong advocates for the area – working with Government to find solutions to enable delivery of strategic transport infrastructure that will drive national prosperity and economic growth. SELEP will be a strong voice on behalf of businesses and communities and work to ensure that Government and the European Union realise the national and international importance of the South East LEP area in the allocation of scare resources. Advocacy will be supported by project specific economic intelligence which will provide the evidence base for investment.

Generally, the South East LEP is not a 'delivery body'; it will not create or fund factories, offices, broadband networks or companies themselves. Nor will the LEP invest in motorway junctions or learning facilities. Private investors, developers and businesses will deliver the projects which constitute economic growth in the area. European Union, central government and local authority investment will sometimes be needed to kickstart these projects and/or provide some of the necessary infrastructure.

The South East LEP sees itself as an 'enabling body' and a dynamic catalyst for change - identifying the very high priority actions which must happen and, collectively, use the talents and resources of LEP members to ensure that these actions take place.

Geography

The South East LEP area encompasses Essex, Kent and East Sussex.
