Consultation process

CLLD has been in development in the city since 2013, with extensive consultation on whether it should form part of the Leeds City Region ESIF Strategy. Since then discussions have been held with stakeholders, including local ward members about the decision to bid, and the neighbourhoods/LSOAs to be included in the strategies for each area. Reports have been considered at Community Committees and their appropriate sub-groups, such as Employment and Skills Boards.
