The Government published its response to the consultation document Prosperous Places: Taking forward the Review of Sub National Economic Development and Regeneration on 25 November 2008.
Prosperous Places proposed a way forward on implementing the recommendations set out in the review of sub-national economic development and regeneration, originally published on 17 July 2007. The Government’s response to Prosperous Places sets out how it will deliver more effective economic decision making and planning in England’s regions and localities. These reforms will put in place a legal and policy framework which will assist regions, sub-regions and local areas in responding to current economic difficulties, preparing for the upturn and strengthening jobs and business growth in all areas in the longer term.
In addition to this, a set of Frequently Asked Questions on how the transition to the new arrangements will be managed can also be found with the response.
This is the original consultation paper.
