  • Appendix A: Leeds City Region Growth Fund Deal Sheet
    APPENDIX A: LEEDS CITY REGION GROWTH FUND DEAL SHEET 1 2 INTRODUCTION We are pleased to provide this outline summary of the 2015-16 deliverable priority projects and programmes that we have included in the Leeds City Region SEP for funding through the Local Growth Fund (LGF). We see the LGF being the opportunity for Government to co-invest with us to deliver our economic and growth ambitions. The identification of these projects is the culmination of at least 6-9 months appraisal processes (over 2 years in the case of the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund) where we have applied significant rigour to reduce the range of projects from very long ‘wish lists’ to a focussed number of specific and deliverable projects across transport, innovation, skills, resource smart, housing and regeneration. This has included, for example, applying a Department for Transport approved modelling process for Transport Projects, and the five cases Treasury Green Book compliant approach to the appraisal of our housing and regeneration schemes. We have provided more detailed business cases within the accompanying appendices as requested for each deliverable project, which has included financial and economic appraisal output tables and risk assessments. Projects have been assessed and subsequently re-assessed for deliverability, economic impact and strategic fit in partnership with all City Region authorities and other project sponsors and co-investors. The resultant shortlist of projects and programmes for 2015/16 set out in our SEP and summarised here therefore has both political endorsement across the City Region partnership including the LEP Board. The LEP Board is therefore confident that the projects and programmes it is submitting in this SEP submission are both viable and deliverable, and offer value for money and will have a major strategic impact on city regional and UK growth.

  • The Case for Better Transport Investment: Agglomeration and Growth in the Leeds City Region
    The case for better transport investment: Agglomeration and growth in the Leeds City Region Adam Marshall and Chris Webber Summary • Trams, commuter rail services, better road junctions, more buses: every city has a long, and mostly unfulfilled, ‘wish list’ of major transport projects. But at a time when financial resources are limited,how can our cities and regions prioritise transport needs – and make intelligent investments that boost their economic competitiveness? • Using case studies in the Leeds City Region, this report shows the scale of the ‘hidden’ economic benefits – known as agglomeration benefits – that transport schemes can deliver in Britain’s major cities. Our new analysis shows that up to 25% of the potential benefits of major transport investments in Leeds currently go un-counted by the Department for Transport. Including these benefits in transport proposals and plans would make the case for investment in the Leeds City Region stronger than ever. • Adding up agglomeration benefits could also radically improve the economic case for transport investment in cities across the UK – especially when new schemes deliver faster and better access to job-rich city centres. The evidence presented in this report suggests that targeted improvements to urban transport networks could add tens of millions of pounds to a city’s economic ‘bottom line’ each year. • In the wake of the Eddington Transport Study, the Comprehensive Spending Review, and the Government’s renewed drive to improve regional economic performance, it is more critical than ever to count these ‘hidden’ benefits – and ensure that cities get the transport investment needed to fulfil their potential.

As part of this approval the Department will provide a maximum capped funding contribution of £4.911m towards an estimated total scheme cost of £6.266m. North East Lincolnshire Council is solely responsible for meeting any expenditure over and above this maximum amount. Funding will be paid as capital grant under Section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003. I will write to your Chief Finance Officer shortly with a formal letter of grant under Section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003. For the above scheme the Department is prepared to make available the following funding profile: 2014/15 - £2.715m 2015/16 - £2.196m Every effort should be made to avoid slippage in 2014/15 as the new funding arrangements for funding schemes through the Local Growth Fund will make it very difficult for us to increase our contribution in 2015/16 and beyond. However, if there is any possibility of adjusting profiles to increase spend in 2014/15 (with a corresponding reduction in future years), we would be happy to consider this.

  • When I Recently Gave Evidence Before the Transport
    Supplementary written evidence from the Department for Transport (AES 01) When I recently gave evidence before the Transport Select Committee about the transport elements of the Autumn Statement, I promised to come back to you and the Committee on a number of points. Please find further clarification on these below: The timetable of Southern's procurement of additional vehicles Southern issued an Invitation To Tender in September to procure additional vehicles to enable it to deliver its December 2013 timetable. The deadline for bids was 16th November. Since then, commercial discussions between the train operating company and the bidders have continued in order to agree an acceptable, value for money position before they move to preferred bidder status. If such a position can be achieved, my Department will be progressing commercial discussions With the operator on any required changes to their Franchise Agreement in light of this procurement. Trans Pennine electrification and the Northern Hub The Northern Hub has been developed from a base of today's diesel-operated network and takes account of the slower acceleration and line speeds of older suburban diesel trains. Electrification of the North West Triangle between Manchester, Leeds and Preston, and now of the north Trans Pennine route between Manchester, Leeds and York, has changed the way the railway in the north will operate. Faster electric suburban trains are likely to replace the older diesel trains and changes to service routes and calling patterns may offer more efficient alignment of train capacity against demand. This has changed the base assumption of the Northern Hub.
