Abstract

The Smith Institute, in association with the Economic Strategy Research Bureau at Nottingham Business School, has undertaken an investigation into the lack of central government investment in the East Midlands in housing and physical regeneration. The work has been based on desk research, two round tables with stakeholders (in Nottingham and Melton Mowbray) and interviews with over 30 decision makers, experts and opinion formers from across the region. The objectives of the report were: first, to quantify the reduction in central government investment in the region compared with other regions; second, to suggest reasons why this might have
occurred; third, to consider the impact that this might be having on the implementation of government policies such as housing provision, “rebalancing” the economy and achieving greater value for money for government investment. The report concludes with a number of recommendations for local enterprise partnerships
(LEPs), local authorities, the housing sector and central
government.
