This may help explain Cumbria’s economic performance
If you have a spare 30 minutes over the weekend, and have been wondering why the Cumbrian economy has languished over the last ten years, listen to Radio Cumbria interviewing George Beveridge, “interim chair” of Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership.
This link will take you to BBC iPlayer. The interview itself is 2 hours 28 minutes 35 seconds into the programme (2:28:35).
Alternatively, fast forward to 2:54:29 when he answers my question on the internet, Twitter and the Cumbria LEP website. I especially liked his comment about “updating” the website with details of the Growing Places Fund which was announced nearly three months ago!
P.S Coincidentally the website has been updated this afternoon!
