National Leadership, Local Delivery
Delivering growth on the scale envisaged takes national leadership. There are 33 local authorities across the Arc – they need a strong framework to work within, but they know their areas best, so must take on a long-term delivery role.
We have taken a lead by galvanising the region’s most significant investors and developers and creating an open dialogue between the development sector and the three key Government departments delivering its Arc vision.
At Bidwells, we have long championed the role of the private sector. Central and local Government set the conditions for growth, but investors and developers know what the real barriers and opportunities are. They must engage too.
