The York, North Yorkshire and East Riding (YNYER) Local Enterprise Partnership is currently developing its Local Industrial Strategy (LIS) and is calling on everyone who lives and works in the region to share their views.
The strategy, which will be submitted to the UK Government in March, will determine the next 20 years of productivity and growth in the region.

The LEP would like as many people as possible to have the opportunity to help shape the final submission. The consultation is running from Monday 13th January – Friday 31st January 2020.
