Council pledges to support local business
City of York Council chiefs have pledged to work hand in hand with local business leaders to ensure that York's economy remains buoyant.
The authority has responded to the government's call for councils to work more closely with the private sector by supporting plans for two neighbouring Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs). Councillor Andrew Waller, leader of the council, joined other local authority leaders in submitting plans for a Leeds City Region LEP and a York & North Yorkshire LEP to the government today. The council has also underlined its intention to continue to work closely with partners in the East Riding.
Kersten England, chief executive of City of York Council, said: "We have a strong track record of the public and private sectors working closely together in York and are confident that by supporting plans for both our local LEPs, and continuing to work with partners in East Yorkshire, we can maximise the benefit to York businesses.
"We are heartened by the recent unemployment figures, by the arrival of Waitrose and Nexpresso in York and by the high number of visitors in the city this summer. The signs are that York's economy remains strong and is weathering the recession well.
"In particular, the knowledge-based economy is a particular strength in York, which was reflected by the Leeds City Region choosing to launch its Innovation Capital Programme in York earlier this year.
"However, we are not complacent and will work with our local, regional and national partners to attract investment into the city, as well as protecting existing jobs and generating new ones."
Submissions for Local Enterprise Partnerships have to be made to the government by today (6 September).
