South East England's View on the Future Of FEBRUARY 2003 FEBRUARY EuropeBUILDING A BIGGER SOUTH EAST ENGLAND’S view on the future of EU cohesion policy SUMMARY » South East England is a large and relatively affluent border region within the EU. But it also has pockets of deprivation, places with high levels of unemployment, homelessness, weak economic prospects and a degraded environment. Future EU cohesion policy should similarly reflect the region’s dual approach in both tackling remaining disparities, as well as pursuing an outward and more forward looking approach. This includes redressing long-term under-investment in the region’s infrastructure and business support, but also moving from traditional manufacturing to a knowledge-based high technology future and the development of leading-edge sectors in the region. « EuropeBUILDING A BIGGER Designed and produced by Jackson Lowe Marketing www.jacksonlowe.com 1 Role of Cohesion Policy » a re-defined European Social Fund focused on innovative actions and support for disadvantaged South East England has a key contribution to groups and the organisations which work with them; make to overall cohesion in an enlarged Union in » reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) promoting issues such as governance, economic alongside that of regional policy, with any redirected development, environmental policy and research monies allocated to a more effective and equitable and development.This approach also requires: rural policy. » improving the effectiveness of the structural instruments rather than necessarily increasing the 3 Principles of Cohesion Policy EU’s budget; Our experience of Structural Funds in the South » tackling the remaining areas of deprivation within East suggests that a degree of flexibility in some otherwise prosperous ‘intermediate’ regions of the aspects could lead to increased effectiveness by: current EU; » moving from map-based targeting as a means of » capitalising on the positive characteristics and concentrating resources to one which takes more opportunities of such regions, especially to support account of the situation on the ground; those still catching up; » reviewing the match-funding principle in the light of » the continued support for cohesion through the adverse effects arising from its current application.

In order for its regional economy to prosper in this South East England is the tenth largest EU region in terms context, the South East is seeking to make good the of population with more inhabitants than Finland and a few long-term under-investment in the region’s infrastructure less than Austria. Despite its image of prosperity the and business support. At the same time, it is also region is also one of great contrasts, with areas of relative pursuing an outward and forward-looking approach, for affluence certainly but also places with high levels of example, in the transition from traditional manufacturing unemployment, homelessness, weak economic prospects into a knowledge-based high technology future which and a degraded environment. Measured in Gross Domestic has seen the development of leading-edge sectors in the nd Product (GDP) per head, the South East is 22 out of 77 region, such as biotechnology, healthcare, marine regions in the European league table (Eurostat 1997). In technologies and multimedia. It is this dual approach recognition of this situation, parts of the region are which the South East would also like to see reflected in currently beneficiaries of a number of major EU funding the EU’s future cohesion policy. programmes for 2000 -2006, including Objective 2, INTERREG, URBAN, LEADER and EQUAL.The entire region of the South East is eligible for funds from the European Social Fund and also received allocations amounting to some £770 million (1994 -1997) under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The South East supports the enlargement of the EU but suggests that maximising commitment to this process also depends on tackling remaining problems within the present Member States. In particular, future cohesion policy needs increasingly to aim at reducing disparities within regions as well as between existing regions of the EU. Hidden pockets of deprivation are a feature of the region’s economic profile and are found, for example, in the heart of the vibrant M4 corridor (wards in Slough and Reading rank 100 and 112 most deprived of UK wards respectively). Using 1998 figures, the most deprived districts in the South East are all coastal areas (or an island in the case of the Isle of Wight).These feature poor infrastructure and declining seasonal trade. The South East region, as part of an island, can also be described as an outer region of North West Europe which can potentially become isolated from its » continental counterparts. On the other hand, the region’s proximity to London also places the South East under strain, with the capital acting as a drain on economic opportunities and labour markets with negative impacts on urban and rural environments.These 5 » » » ONE ROLE OF COHESION POLICY The South East supports the enlargement of the EU and the trade and other opportunities this will bring.With the right EU and Government support, the region has a lot to give in a differently balanced and evolving Union. The role of regions such as ours will be key in terms, for example, of promoting issues such as governance, economic development, environmental policy and research and development. The region therefore supports a future cohesion policy which tackles need but also encompasses change and opportunity, enabling different parts of the Union to contribute as appropriate to cohesion. Support is, however, needed to encourage and facilitate positive engagement in this process, particularly by South East local authorities, to help meet the aims of the ‘Lisbon Agenda’ of March 2000 for the European Union ‘to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable 1economic growth and social cohesion’. » 6 BUILDING A BIGGER EUROPE The South East considers that: » more effective support and resource is also needed from the UK Government (particularly compared to » the enlargement of the EU is to be welcomed, that provided at present by some other Member including the resulting increase in trade opportunities States) to encourage participation in the EU from an expanded market; programmes of the future; » the primary need is to target aid on new Member » the Commission’s aim of linking existing EU regions States after 2006, and support the development of a to those in Central and Eastern European Countries strengthened and effective cohesion policy to (CEECs) should be supported in order to facilitate encompass enlargement.

  • Iconic Bees: 12 Reports on UK Bee Species
    Iconic Bees: 12 reports on UK bee species Bees are vital to the ecology of the UK and provide significant social and economic benefits through crop pollination and maintaining the character of the landscape. Recent years have seen substantial declines in many species of bees within the UK. This report takes a closer look at how 12 ‘iconic’ bee species are faring in each English region, as well as Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Authors Rebecca L. Evans and Simon G. Potts, University of Reading. Photo: © Amelia Collins Contents 1 Summary 2 East England Sea-aster Mining Bee 6 East Midlands Large Garden Bumblebee 10 London Buff-tailed Bumblebee 14 North East Bilberry Bumblebee 18 North West Wall Mason Bee 22 Northern Ireland Northern Colletes 26 Scotland Great Yellow Bumblebee 30 South East England Potter Flower Bee 34 South West England Scabious Bee 38 Wales Large Mason Bee 42 West Midlands Long-horned Bee 46 Yorkshire Tormentil Mining Bee Through collating information on the 12 iconic bee species, common themes have Summary emerged on the causes of decline, and the actions that can be taken to help reverse it. The most pervasive causes of bee species decline are to be found in the way our countryside has changed in the past 60 years. Intensification of grazing regimes, an increase in pesticide use, loss of biodiverse field margins and hedgerows, the trend towards sterile monoculture, insensitive development and the sprawl of towns and cities are the main factors in this. I agree with the need for a comprehensive Bee Action Plan led by the UK Government in order to counteract these causes of decline, as called for by Friends of the Earth.

  • THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES of SOUTH EAST ENGLAND Recommendations to the South East
    THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH EAST ENGLAND Recommendations to the South East LEP Prof Steve Fothergill Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research Sheffield Hallam University Final report December 2012 1 Summary This report considers the policy implications arising from a statistical review of the South East’s coastal communities, completed in April 2012. It also builds on discussions involving coastal local authorities, private sector representatives and other local partners. The statistical review identified the South East’s coastal communities, which have a combined population of one million or around a quarter of the LEP total, as on average an area of social and economic disadvantage, well adrift of LEP averages and sometimes behind national averages as well. The review also flagged up important differences between places along the coast and put forward a six-fold classification of areas that has won wide support. The present report makes ten recommendations: 1. The South East LEP needs to be ‘spatially aware’. The big internal differences within the LEP area, and in particular the distinctive needs of the coastal strip, need to inform the full range of LEP activities. 2. Strategic plans and priorities should give special attention to the coastal strip. This includes in the allocation of resources. 3. Transport links to parts of the coast need improvement. Accessibility remains an important constraint in a number of local areas. 4. The seaside tourist industry should be treated as one of the drivers of economic growth. Tourism along the coast continues to employ as many people as manufacturing, and there are opportunities for growth.

  • Is the Greater South East a Mega-City Region?
    IS THE GREATER SOUTH EAST A MEGA-CITY REGION? Paper presented to a seminar held by the Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr). Professor Peter Hall Institute of Community Studies, London 10th December 2004 A paper commissioned for ippr’s Commission on Sustainable Development in the South East and Centre for Cities. www.ippr.org IS THE GREATER SOUTH EAST A MEGA-CITY REGION? Peter Hall This paper presents a new geographical-planning concept: the Mega-City region, object of a major new EU-funded research project, POLYNET (Section 1). It presents some technical building blocks, importantly explaining that this is a concept dependent on functionally-defined urban areas, not conventional administrative units (Section 2). It introduces a suggested South East Mega-City region, the biggest of eight such regions studied in the POLYNET project (Section 3). It then presents key findings on the region: on population (Section 4), employment (Section 4), commuting (Section 5), and the measurement of polycentricity (Section 6). It then presents a summary account of attempts at strategic planning of the region over the past half- century (Section 7) before a more speculative discussion of future options for its planning and governance (Section 8). The main conclusions are then summarised (Section 9). This paper makes use of POLYNET findings and data, although the views presented are the author’s own and not those of the POLYNET team. The paper does not necessarily represent the views of the Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr). 1. The Mega-City Region: A New Spatial Concept South East England is an example of an emergent urban phenomenon in course of formation in the most highly-urbanised parts of the world: the Polycentric Mega-City-Region.

In Britain the term Prehistory refers to the period before Britain became part of the Roman empire in AD 43. The prehistoric period in Britain lasted for hundreds of thousands of years and this long period of time is usually divided into: Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic (sometimes these three periods are combined and called the Stone Age), Bronze Age and Iron Age. Each of these periods might also be sub-divided into early, middle and late. The Palaeolithic is often divided into lower, middle and upper. Early Britain British Isles: Humans probably first arrived in Britain around 800,000 BC. These early inhabitants had to cope with extreme environmental changes and they left Britain at least seven times when conditions became too bad.
