LVEPs are place-led and can bring a range of benefits to both businesses and visitors. Both DCMS and VisitEngland would welcome an application to form an LVEP from those places yet to form one, including Bedfordshire.
The decision to submit an application lies with Bedfordshire Council and local leaders, to date we have not received an application. We will continue to work closely with Bedfordshire to provide any support required to develop their application.
