Regional Development in Yorkshire and the Humber (F) Rev: May 10th, 2016 Amy Cogan Wares Regional Development in Yorkshire and the Humber (F) In the spring of 2010 the parliamentary elections in the United Kingdom gave the victory to the Conservative party, ending two terms of Labour governments, the founders of the RDAs. Soon after the following article was published in the BBC news1: Yorkshire Forward development agency axed in Budget Yorkshire Forward has 450 staff at five offices across the region. The body charged with attracting investment to the Yorkshire and Humber region is to be abolished. Yorkshire Forward is among nine regional development agencies (RDAs) in England which will be replaced with Local Enterprise Partnerships. The government confirmed its intention as it unveiled its Budget on Tuesday. The process will begin with a white paper to be published later this year. Yorkshire Forward, which has 450 staff, has not yet commented on the decision. The agency was set up in 1999 to further economic development and regeneration in the region and has an annual budget of £277m. “I don't believe that is delivering the value that we need in our region, especially under these very difficult financial times that we face at the moment”. Julian Sturdy York Outer MP Rosie Winterton, Labour MP for Doncaster Central, said Yorkshire forward had been valuable. She said: "For every pound of public money that the RDA spent they created something like £4.50 in return for their local economy. "So it is wise investment but also you do need, when we are planning for growth in the future, to be able to have a regional vision of what is needed." Julian Sturdy, Conservative MP for York Outer, said it was time for the agency to go. He said: "You look at the budget and when 60% of Yorkshire Forward's budget 1 Published on 22 June 2010.

In the days leading up to the general election local business leaders called for Yorkshire Forward's future to be guaranteed. Former Northern Foods chairman Lord Haskins said: "It's got us thinking about regional issues like transport, infrastructure etc and putting pressure on central government to do something about it." 2 .

    Media Release -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Immediate Release -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ North Yorkshire MPs Support the Call For the Introduction Of A Pharmacy Minor Ailments Scheme. During December 2014 and January 2015 Julian Sturdy (MP for Outer York), Hugh Bayley (MP for York Central), Robert Goodwill (MP for Scarborough and Whitby), Andrew Jones (MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough), Julian Smith (MP for Skipton and Ripon) and Nigel Adams (MP for Selby and Ainsty) all visited Pharmacies within their respective constituencies. The purpose of each visit was to encourage people to use their local pharmacies to their fullest extent. This is because they are a convenient alternative to GPs and A&E when it comes to minor ailments such as, coughing, respiratory problems, colds and sore throats. After discussion regarding how a minor aliments scheme would work in practice, all participating MPs agreed that the introduction of such a scheme in North Yorkshire would only benefit those willing to take advantage of it. The MPs also support Community Pharmacy North Yorkshire’s decision to open discussion with the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in the North Yorkshire area to implement the scheme ASAP. Minor ailments are defined as, ‘common or self-limiting or uncomplicated conditions which can be diagnosed and managed without medical intervention’.1 Pharmacy based services to treat such ailments were introduced locally across the UK more than ten years ago2 to reduce the burden of minor ailments on higher cost settings such as general practice and the A&E departments of hospitals. Consultations for minor ailments are less expensive when provided 1 Self care: an ethical imperative.

The syndrome is estimated to effect up to 35,000 people in the UK. These conditions affect health and quality of life from birth through infancy and childhood into adult life with over 180 physical, functional and psychological associations reported. The complexity of 22q11 frequently leads to clinical confusion and a delay in diagnosis often by years. The event is being hosted by Jack Lopresti, MP who recently set up an APPG to raise awareness of this medical condition after meeting one of his constituents who has a daughter with the condition. The other officers of the group are Nigel Adams MP, Paul Uppal MP and long-time supporter of Max Appeal, Margot James MP. Materials for the event Four posters highlighting some families who are members of the charity Max Appeal and showing the growth charts specific to 22q11DS.

  • Submission to the Consultation on the City of York Council’S Draft Local Plan
    Submission to the Consultation on the City of York Council’s Draft Local Plan Julian Sturdy MP 31st July 2013 Julian Sturdy MP Draft Local Plan Consultation Submission Part I – Greenbelt Policies Fundamental to the Council’s approach to the draft Local Plan has been the repeated argument that if York does not have an adopted Local Plan with a defined greenbelt in place by 2015, the greenbelt could be subjected to unrestrained development and that the Council are defining the greenbelt for the very first time. It will be argued in Part I of this submission that this is not the case. York does have an established greenbelt, which the Council are not seeking to define, but ‘re-define’. The government have also been clear that the York greenbelt policies of the now-revoked Regional Spatial Strategy will be retained until the greenbelt is defined within a Local Plan. While York’s greenbelt very clearly needs to be adopted in the form of a Local Plan, the need for urgency on this should not be used as an excuse or a mandate to radically alter what has for so many years been York’s greenbelt. The following points will reiterate this in greater detail: 1.1.1 Para 79 of the NPPF explicitly states “The Government attaches great importance to Green Belts. The fundamental aim of Green Belt policy is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open; the essential characteristics of Green Belts are their openness and their permanence.” Great weight is attached to the importance of greenbelts in protecting both our cities and our rural communities from urban and suburban sprawl.

  • Urgent Open Letter to Jesse Norman Mp on the Loan Charge
    URGENT OPEN LETTER TO JESSE NORMAN MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE Dear Minister, We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation. Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the House of Lords takes the same view. We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review. Ross Thomson MP John Woodcock MP Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP Jonathan Edwards MP Ruth Cadbury MP Tulip Siddiq MP Baroness Kramer Nigel Evans MP Richard Harrington MP Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable MP Philip Davies MP Lady Sylvia Hermon MP Catherine West MP Rt Hon Dame Caroline

  • Greater Yorkshire Devolution: Statement of Intent
    GREATER YORKSHIRE, GREATER AMBITION Greater Yorkshire Devolution: Statement of Intent “The Northern Powerhouse will be a success if the North has a fast growing economy linked together by world class infrastructure. In order to achieve scale and critical mass we must evolve as one diverse economy and not several. As a powerful economic bloc we will compete on a world scale. This is not a UK competition. The York and North Yorkshire with East Riding LEP believes the way forward is to organise ourselves into business sectors across the North. Businesses can then more easily support each other with innovation, University links, best practice, supply chain development, forward planning for skills and targeted inward investment. Sector working also has the advantage of removing both political and boundary constraints. Devolution is necessary at a level which will support our ambitions. The international brand recognised and supported by most of our people is Yorkshire. When working ‘abroad’ we are proud to tell people ‘we are from Yorkshire’. Therefore devolution at a Greater Yorkshire level is our first choice. It makes sense. We believe this will provide the scale needed to successfully deliver the skills and physical infrastructure necessary for growth.” Barry Dodd CBE, Chair Y, NY, ER LEP We the persons listed below are pleased to submit the attached Statement of Intent outlining our proposals for a devolution deal on the geography of Greater Yorkshire consisting of Bradford Calderdale Craven City of York East Yorkshire Hambleton Harrogate Hull Kirklees North Yorkshire Leeds Richmondshire Ryedale Scarborough Selby Wakefield It is our wish that all 16 local authorities work with our 3 Local Enterprise Partnerships and the private sector to deliver real economic growth.
