Jones, the Director of Regeneration attended for this item and introduced the presentation which focused on the Government’s Industrial Strategy Green Paper. He explained that the last time the country had produced an economic strategy was under the Wilson government in the 1960’s, when Wilson had referred to the ‘white heat of technology’. The strategy had supported the development of motorways and polytechnics and had recognised the strategic importance of the Humber region, something that remained true today. The Wilson government had set up a dedicated department with the focus on central planning. The current process was very different, with the focus on place and sectors, rather than a one size fits all approach. He felt the process provided the area with a huge opportunity. The Humber LEP and unitary leaders were focused on developing a Humber Industrial Strategy which would outline our case to government. The Industrial Strategy would also be important in regard to future funding. The third round of the Local Growth Fund had now closed and the region had done well. The government could see what the region had delivered in recent years, plus the potential for further growth. Funding would come through the Industrial Strategy and the government would want to invest in success. The proposed strategy was based around the 10 key pillars outlined in the presentation. He explained that there was still human potential to maximise within the Humber region and that would be highlighted in the Humber Strategy. The University was also key, with global excellence and knowledge essential in attracting new investment. Developments such as ‘Project Aura’ and support for the renewables sector would play an important role and the university had already developed key competencies in several areas. M. Jones explained that a report had just been published by Localis (with a foreword by the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) which highlighted those areas of the country that had the ability to grow their economies and the Hull and Humber was identified as a growth area. Members discussed: i. If the Industrial Strategy would be accompanied by an Action Plan. M. Jones advised the Commission that the Humber Strategy would serve that purpose. The strategy would also enable us to highlight our economic value to the government and country as a whole. Page 9 of 70 P a g e 5 ii. The Industrial Strategy and the Government’s likely position in regard clean energy and fracking. M. Jones advised the Commission that the Council had a clear policy on fracking. iii. Whether support for new infrastructure projects would be developed through the Industrial Strategy. M. Jones explained that plans for the M11 and M62 had been included in the 1960’s plan. Nothing would happen quickly and the works to the A63 would only offer a time limited solution. There was also the question of how European money would be replaced. iv. Funding for flood defences and the potential loss of European funding. M. Jones explained that the Council continued to lobby government and maintain relationships with key stakeholders such as the Environment Agency. v. If the Council was preparing a bid for some of the £690million government had put aside to tackle urban congestion. M. Jones confirmed that the Council would be bidding for funding. Funding for the Garrison Road scheme had also been announced in the budget. He explained that £7.5 million of Local Growth Fund funding had originally been set aside by the LEP for rail electrification and that same money had then been set aside for the Garrison Road scheme. There was an expectation that the A63 construction process would create pressures elsewhere on the road system and they were now holding that money with a view to addressing potential pressure points.
