Our policies, plans and strategies - The Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal

City Deals are agreements between Government and an area that gives that area control to:

• take charge and responsibility of decisions that affect their area
• do what they think is best to help businesses grow
• create economic growth
• decide how public money should be spent

The Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal was signed on 24 March 2014, securing £16 million Government funding that will create nearly 1500 jobs and unlock over £130 million of investment for our area (coupled with private sector leverage and local match funding).
