Northern Powerhouse

Summary

If the promise of the Northern Powerhouse is to be made real, then it will need a lot more than Government announcements about allocating money to a diverse range of projects.
Real questions need to be asked about how the long term funding is to be made available for infrastructure development; about how the different parts of the education system may work together better to deliver the skills needed and what role can business play; and about the housing and planning reforms needed to ensure that a growing population can be accommodated.

The purpose of this conference will be to look at the Northern Powerhouse in terms of funding, skills, and housing. The aim will be to maximise interaction between panelists and audience to produce, by the close of the day, from three to five tangible actions on which local leaders can deliver.
