Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority (HEYCA) is developing a new Local Growth Plan – a ten-year strategy designed to drive sustainable economic growth and prosperity across our region. They want your views to help shape the future of our region.

What is the Local Growth Plan?

The Local Growth Plan (LGP) is a long-term approach that sets out how HEYCA will support local businesses, create jobs, and invest in our communities. It aligns with national priorities and local ambitions, aiming to build a thriving, innovative, and resilient economy for everyone in Hull and East Yorkshire.

The plan will:

• Analyse our region’s strengths and challenges.
• Set out clear priorities for growth and investment.
• Identify key sectors and opportunities for development.
• Outline actions and partnerships needed to deliver real change.
• Support the delivery of the Hull and East Yorkshire Gameplan.

• November 2025: Stage 1 consultation opens.
