local economies, rural as well as urban.</p><p>In line with the Industrial Strategy,

Strategies to promote productivity. This should include a focus on the foundations
of productivity and identify priorities across Ideas, People, Infrastructure, Business
Environment and Places.</p><p>For many LEP areas this will involve identifying weaknesses
in productivity across their local areas, such as in isolated rural or urban communities,
promoting inclusive growth by using existing national and local funding.</p><p> </p>
