Increasing and Improving Infrastructure Provision

This workstream has its own dedicated web-page. Please follow this link.

Yorkshire and Humber suffers from a relatively lower level of investment than other regions.
Government expects local authorities to demonstrate that there Local Development Frameworks are deliverable and that the right levels of infrastructure have been provided.
Local Infrastructure Delivery Plans are proving costly and challenging and demand greater collaboration to achieve economies of scale and share good practice.

Commissioned an Integrated Infrastructure Study to help deliver infrastructure. Available here.
Preparing a Regional Infrastructure Hub to help local authorities prepare and deliver infrastructure studies and plans – this will be up and running by September and is available here.
Established a steering group of local authorities, Government Office and Yorkshire Forward to help guide the direction of this workstream and disseminate information – set up in May 09. See membership, agendas and minutes here.
Gathering strategic information on critical, transport, green and social infrastructure – this is partly completed and available here. It will be fully complete and made available on GIS by early 2010.
Building capacity with infrastructure providers – this is ongoing.
