Morley Town Deal
Board
In September of 2019, Morley was named as
one of 100 towns across England that had been invited to work with
the government to develop innovative regeneration plans to
transform their town's economic growth prospects through the Towns
Fund.
The Towns Fund is a government initiative to
drive economic regeneration and deliver long term economic and
productivity growth through projects focused on urban regeneration,
skills and enterprise infrastructure and enhanced connectivity. In
March 2021 the government offered a Town Deal for Morley of
£24.3 million.
In January 2020 an interim Town Deal Board was
established, and in summer 2020 an open recruitment process was
undertaken to appoint members representing Morley’s
communities, the private sector, and key local organisations.
The Morley Town Deal Board plays a key role in
representing the town to:
- Develop a clear programme of
projects and interventions in Morley
- Coordinate resources and engage with
the wider Morley community
The board is not a legal entity and its role
is advisory. Its purpose is to work with Leeds City Council, to
which it is accountable, as the key body for the development of the
Vision, local engagement and representation. The Board will have an
ongoing role and have sight of decisions as projects are developed
in more detail.
The Morley Town
Investment Plan
The Town Investment Plan was developed with
input and oversight from the Morley Town Deal Board with support
from Leeds City Council. Projects and interventions in Morley have
been proposed and appraised in a consistent manner in line with an
agreed appraisal framework. Leeds City Council will be the
accountable body for Town Deal funds.
