Key information
Request reference number: MGLA031022-0389
Date of response:
Summary of request
- Any communication received by your local authority from the UK government concerning potential "Investment Zones", encouraging your local authority to make an expression of interest in the idea, in the run-up to the Chancellor's 'fiscal event' on 23rd September 2022. Each of your local authorities was named as expressing interest in the Government's Growth Plan, published on that date, so you clearly hold this information. To help narrow down a search for this info: any such communication is likely to have been only a week or two prior to this date, and no earlier than 24th July, when the policy was first proposed by then leadership candidate Liz Truss.
- The response your local authority made to the UK Government's communication about Investment Zones.
- Any internal correspondence within your local authority (e.g. emails between officials and/or councillors, meeting minutes) discussing "Investment Zones" and potential sites, subsequent to the offer from the UK government. Again, to help narrow down a search: any such correspondence is likely to have only taken place within the past few weeks.
