C.6 Regional Economic Strategy 2006-16: map showing Diamonds for Investment and Growth, South East Plan areas, etc

SEEDA & Sub-Regional Working

Appendix D Sub-Regional Partnerships reconfigured

Berkshire

The Berkshire Economic Strategy Board (BESB) is currently under development as the overarching economic partnership for Berkshire. Its role will be to co-ordinate economic assessments and research and produce a Berkshire Economic Strategy (updating the previous Thames Valley Economic Strategy); and provide the focus for economic input to the Local Area Agreements developed by the six unitary authorities, and to a possible future Multi Area Agreement. There will be four working groups, each comprising business representatives and public sector stakeholders, on: Global Competitiveness, Smart Growth, Sustainable Business and 2012. BESB will engage with business via the existing Thames Valley Economic Partnership (TVEP). TVEP previously received core funding from SEEDA as a sub-regional partnership and continues to be funded by SEEDA for work on innovation and inward investment. TVEP is a membership body, with around 75 participating organisations, mainly from the private sector. Subscriptions form a major source of funding.

Brighton and Hove

The Brighton and Hove Economic Partnership is well-established as the vehicle for engaging local businesses and representing the business and economic development perspective in local structures and processes, linked to the Brighton and Hove Business Forum. It has worked with the Council and local partners in developing the City’s first Employment and Skills Strategy, and leads on economic development aspects of the Brighton and Hove Public Services Board, 2020 Community Partnership (the LSP) and the LAA, including the current review of the Brighton and Hove Economic Strategy.

Buckinghamshire

The Buckinghamshire Economic and Learning Partnership has evolved from the existing Buckinghamshire Economic Partnership. Its role is to lead on the economic strategy for the county and Economic Development elements of the Local Area Agreement; provide an amalgamated structure for businesses comprising Buckinghamshire Ambassadors and Buckinghamshire Business Leaders Network; and integrate the existing lifelong learning partnership.

East Sussex

The East Sussex Business Board is being set up as a successor to the East Sussex Economic Partnership, enabling business engagement and sitting firmly within the ambit of the East Sussex Strategic Partnership which is convened by East Sussex County Council (ESCC). In taking these proposals forward, ESCC places substantial emphasis on building a robust and broad-based evidence base to demonstrate what business needs are and how they can be best addressed.

SEEDA & Sub-Regional Working

Hampshire

The Hampshire Economic Partnership (HEP) continues as the Sub-Regional Partnership for Hampshire, though with a different set of relationships with partners in South Hampshire given the establishment of the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH). The work of Hampshire Economic Partnership is closely aligned with RES priorities, and the partnership is actively involved in shaping the Hampshire Local Area Agreement. PUSH now leads on the economic development strategy for South Hampshire and a wider housing and regeneration agenda linked to the status of this area as one of the Government’s 29 ‘New Growth Points’. It also covers one of the Diamonds for Investment and Growth in the RES, and has successfully negotiated one of the first Multi Area Agreements in the country. PUSH is revising its governance structure and is likely to include an Economic Development Delivery Board and a Business Group of 10-15 key business leaders and business representatives to advise on progress and priorities. There is also an Employment and Skills Board under development, as a sub-group. HEP, through its chair, is playing a key role in setting up the PUSH Business Group, and will maintain its existing network of Task Groups, which draw business membership from the whole of Hampshire.

Isle of Wight

A new arrangement is being developed for the Isle of Wight, to will include an Isle of Wight Economic and Environment Board allied to the existing Local Strategic Partnership structure and governance. The Isle of Wight Council has undertaken a review of functions previously carried out by the Council and the Isle of Wight Economic Partnership and is working with SEEDA and business leaders to secure active business engagement. This includes a proposal for an independent private sector Business Council, which will represent and advise on economic and business-related issues. Discussions have been held with business people who were board members of the previous Isle of Wight Economic Partnership to discuss how the private sector can support the new arrangements.

Kent and Medway

The Kent Regeneration Board is currently being established, intended to be better integrated with Kent County Council Economic Development than its predecessor (Kent Economic Board - KEB) and thus better resourced. The Board of KEB had undertaken its own review of the partnership prior to the SEEDA Sub-Regional Partnership Review. KEB is a formal working group of the Kent Partnership, leading on the Economic Success theme and has led the process of setting indicators for the Economic Development and Environment element of the original Kent LAA. As KRB, the remit will also include Environmental Excellence, High Quality Homes and Keeping Kent Moving. An early task will be to develop the Kent Regeneration Strategy, to incorporate the existing Kent County Council strategy.

EDuce & Makesfive 12

SEEDA & Sub-Regional Working

The Skills for Economy Task Group of KEB has acted as the Local Skills and Productivity Alliance for Kent, and this is to evolve into Kent and Medway Employment and Skills Board under the Kent Regeneration Board umbrella. The KEB Enterprise and Innovation Task Group has led in developing partnership proposals for Place-Based Innovation Teams. This will become a KRB Task Group and there will also be Task Groups on the Environment and Transport and on Housing Quality, Built Environment and Social Regeneration. Between 40 and 50 businesses are closely involved with KEB and task groups. A wider audience is involved through periodic business events. The new KRB will have up to four business representatives including the KRB chairman (who is also a member of the overarching Kent Partnership). The Thames Gateway Kent Partnership is one of the three sub-regional partnerships in the Thames Gateway (the others being in neighbouring RDA regions). It provides a forum for partners in North Kent to come together to discuss and agree priorities, and to take action on the strategic economic and regeneration issues. There are three regeneration partnerships under the TGKP umbrella: Kent Thameside, Medway Renaissance, Swale Forward - all funded by Communities and Local Government. The partnership has a key role in the development of the Diamond for Investment and Growth in the Thames Gateway Kent area; facilitates consultation on the joint RDA Economic Development Investment Plan (which crosses three RDA boundaries), and the Economic Investment Fund; and is exploring the establishment of a possible MAA. Medway Council and Kent County Council support TGKP as the economic partnership for North Kent. (SEEDA support for the previous Medway Economic Board ended in March 2008.)

Milton Keynes

The Milton Keynes Economy and Learning Partnership builds on the existing Milton Keynes Economic Partnership, which had led on a major review of the Milton Keynes economy and economic development action plan.

Oxfordshire

The Oxfordshire Economic Partnership (OEP) is evolving to align more closely with other structures at County and District level, and to strengthen engagement with businesses. Previously it was not directly engaged with the LAA process. The Economic Development Team of Oxfordshire County Council is now co-located with OEP.

Surrey

The Surrey Economic Partnership has an established and prominent leadership role, for example leading the economic theme group contributing to Surrey’s Local Area Agreement. It also works closely with West Sussex Economic Partnership in supporting the development of the Gatwick Diamond.

SEEDA & Sub-Regional Working

West Sussex

The West Sussex Economic Partnership (WSEP) is evolving to play a more focused role in representing business and economic development priorities within broader West Sussex structures. It has been involved in LAA development but the County Council has the main responsibility for this. WSEP leads work with Surrey Economic Partnership on the Gatwick Diamond, and collaborates closely with other partnerships along the Sussex Coast.
