Our region is a great place to live and work, but too many people face challenges to success. We will implement polices which help to overcome those challenges – from skills training to child support.
Where we live matters. The people of the North East are rightly proud of their local identity and want services and policies that support them to live here
We will ensure people have the skills to access work and provide the right conditions for economic growth. We will ensure support and investment in a wide range of economic drivers: from advanced manufacturing to the cultural sector, from skills training to good transport.
We will grasp the opportunity that net zero presents to the North East. Not only will we transition to a green economy, creating thousands of jobs and reducing carbon emissions, we’ll build the new technologies and solutions needed for the UK to decarbonise too.
The North East is an exporting powerhouse and the Mayoral Combined Authority will build on that global reputation to maximise international opportunity. We will secure more global inward investment and increase our export output, including a focus on our cultural exports.
