Inclusive growth in economic development

This IGN guide has been authored by the IGN with contributions from the Centre for Progressive Policy, Metro Dynamics and North East LEP.

In August 2023, Government published a letter on LEP integration stating that funding will cease from April 2024 and that LEP functions will be delivered by combined authorities or upper tier local authorities. We recognise that there are different arrangements across England and that IGN members in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have an altogether different model.
