Welcome to the Lancashire Economic Partnership (LEP) website, where you can find out about our work in developing and promoting Lancashire as a great place to invest, live, work and visit.
Please note that the LEP office will be closed from 4pm on Wednesday 24th December until Monday 5th January 2009. We would like to wish our partners a happy and prosperous Christmas and New Year
LEP was formed to promote economic growth and prosperity throughout Lancashire and has developed from a merger of the Lancashire West Partnership and East Lancashire Partnership.
Role
LEP operates primarily at a strategic level, managing sub-regional projects where appropriate. The primary roles of LEP are to lead on the development, implementation and review of the Lancashire Economic Strategy which complements the Regional Economic Strategy for the North West.

with Darwen), and Lancashire County Council, speaking with a single voice.
Partners
Our partners represent a wide cross-section of interests including:
local & unitary authorities, private sector, voluntary & community sectors, health, transport, tourism, housing, education & training and business support.
Priorities
