EU-cash and green energy behind Cornwall LEP success : South West : Insider News : Insider Media Ltd: "A focus on green energy coupled with the hope it might snare more EU investment is behind the surprise success of Cornwall-Isles of Scilly’s LEP submission.
Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly’s Empowering Enterprise bid was among 24 proposals for local enterprise partnerships approved by the government yesterday along with the West of England bid which covers Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council, North Somerset Council, and Bath and North East Somerset.
However, another 38 bids were rejected including five other submissions from the South West.
Bids from Devon, Plymouth and Torbay; Swindon council’s proposal with Gloucestershire and Wiltshire; South Somerset council’s tie-up with East Devon district council; and Bournemouth council’s bid with Dorset county council and related districts, will now have to go back to the drawing board."
