The board of the
LEP adopted new articles of association when it met on May 21.
"I was pleased to hear directly from
LEP representatives how they are bringing together the local business community, universities and other partners to design long-term, ambitious plans tailored to the strengths and needs of their areas.
The North East
LEP is recognised by ministers as a strong
LEP and we are well positioned to meet the roles and opportunities set out in the review.
Helen Golightly, executive director of the North East
LEP, said: "Scrutiny and transparency are fundamental to good governance and it is pleasing that the North East
LEP is recognised as a 'good'
LEP in the recent performance review by Government."
She will also be responsible for supporting a group of young representatives to sit on the
LEP's subboards for business, people and place, working with them to forge links between the organisation, its partners and the region's youth.

"Who can sack the
LEP? They don't publish their meetings.
Mr Towe added: "We are not talking about merging the
LEPs. We are keeping the local teams which have already been established and having something over that as a combined
LEP."

"I am concerned that the new Article does not fully reflect discussions at the last
LEP task group.
The
LEP has angrily hit back after the Centre for Cities, research and policy unit said many of the local enterprise partnerships set up by the Government with the aim of delivering economic growth have made "limited progress" since being launched a year ago.
Another technology--light emitting plasma (
LEP) --is gaining traction as a viable system for high-illuminance applications, specifically as a replacement for 400-W-plus metal halide and high-pressure sodium systems, by offering the same delivered lumens using about 40 percent less energy.
