There are currently 26 growth hubs across England. 13 new growth hubs will launch by March 2016, when there will be a growth hub available in every 39 LEP area. Details of the country\u2019s growth hubs can be found on the LEP network website.<\/p>

<\/p>

The first growth hub was created in Greater Manchester in November 2011, followed by Cumbria in 2013. 15 Wave 2 City areas received funding to help establish growth hubs during 2014-15 and all areas outside London will receive funding during 2015-16 as part of their Local Growth Deal. Details of growth deal funding can be found on the GOV.UK website.<\/p>

We have consulted on our proposals to devolve the power to extend Sunday trading hours to local areas, to which we received a large number of responses from a wide range of stakeholders. We will be publishing the Government\u2019s response shortly. In the consultation, we said we considered that devolving this power would enable local areas to determine the Sunday trading hours that better reflect the need of local people, providing greater choice over when and where they shop. People may choose small retailers, as for example, they offer a diverse range of products and services from convenient locations. This is perhaps why the convenience sector last year saw the opening of two new stores a day and growth in turnover of 5%.<\/p>
