Local Enterprise Partnerships and partners are advising my Department on this launch. Partners will continue to play an active role locally in advising my Department on the applications and funding decisions that will follow. The Department for Communities and Local Government will be in a position to sign funding agreements for successful applications as soon as the European Regional Development Fund Operational Programme is formally adopted by the European Commission, which we expect to happen by June. |
