Answered by Jim McMahon

Every town and city has a vital contribution to make to growing our economy. The Government has set out its intention to work with places to develop ambitious, long-term Local Growth Plans. Local Growth Plans will be delivered through partnership, and MHCLG will write to places shortly to provide further detail on the approach to developing these Plans.
