All RDAs across England are closing by March 2012 (see transition and closure section). With our resources reducing steadily, this page has not been recently updated and the information below may not be current. If in doubt, please contact us directly.

Single regional strategy

The government’s Sub-National Review of Economic Development and Regeneration (SNR) and the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction (LDEDC) Act 2009 require the RDA, jointly with the Strategic Leaders’ Board, to develop a Single Regional Strategy. The Single Regional Strategy is just one of many ways the RDA works jointly on strategic issues with its local authority partners.

We are currently researching the information which will provide the basis for the Regional Strategy, considering the factors which boost economic growth within the region. Once developed and in place, the Single Regional Strategy will replace the Regional Economic Strategy and the Regional Spatial Strategy (currently under review by the Department for Communities and Local Government).
