Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much investment from local growth deals for the Tees Valley Unlimited Local Enterprise Partnership was made on projects in Hartlepool.
Tees Valley Combined Authority was allocated £126million through local growth deals. As an integrated Local Enterprise Partnership and Combined Authority this formed part of a ‘single pot’ joining 24 different government funds in order to maximise programme flexibility and investment.
This overall programme of activity is detailed in Tees Valley Investment Plan 2019-2029, which is available at: https://teesvalley-ca.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Investment-Plan-2019-20-Digital.pdf
Much of this investment is for schemes benefitting all of the Tees Valley. A full list of supported projects is available at: https://teesvalley-ca.gov.uk/investment/projects/, including support for the Hartlepool Waterfront, as well as business incubation spaces, and new training facilities in the town.
