The Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership Ltd. (LLEP) has been awarded £20 million as part of the government’s ‘Getting Building’ fund. The funding is to be allocated to key infrastructure projects within Leicester and Leicestershire, in a bid to aid recovery post-COVID19.
Sajeimpact Director Andy Reed said “Whilst this investment is obviously welcome it does not represent enough to make a strategically significant impact across the whole county given the scale of the problems we face. We have in fact submitted a £90m package to government of projects we felt ready to go. We now have some tough choices ahead”
