New Strategic Place Partnerships announced as devolution grows across the North

Two Northern Mayoral Combined Authorities have signed new Strategic Place Partnerships (SPPs). the North East Combined Authority and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority entering new partnerships with Homes England.

Strategic Place Partnerships are agreements between Mayoral Combined Authorities and Homes England to enable greater collaboration to deliver new housing and regeneration developments, in line with local ambitions. In the North, SPPs have now been signed between Homes England and Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Liverpool City Region, North East and South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authorities.

Meanwhile, these announcements came alongside recent large investments for regeneration schemes in both the North East and Liverpool City Region. These include alongside a £51 million investment in the regeneration of Birkenhead, as well as a £30 million investment to accelerate the Riverside development in Sunderland in the North East.
