Alignment to Council’s Objectives

Mayors EAP Objectives Application to NWC Leicester to Work - Providing the required support, funding and programmes to enable people to secure good quality employment. Enterprising Leicester - Providing the required support, funding and programmes to enable businesses to grow in Leicester. This includes capital projects that provide premises, workspace and sites to support businesses and providing co-ordinated business support. Thriving City Centre - Creating a highly attractive and distinctive city centre. The Council has embarked on a major capital programme (Connecting Leicester) which is aimed at improving the public realm in the City Centre, including creation of new high quality public spaces such as Jubilee Square, Cathedral Gardens and Leicester Market and schemes aimed at improving connectivity be it through walking, cycling, by bus or car. Growing City - Ensuring the City’s infrastructure is capable of delivering sustainable growth and development. This is primarily focused on delivering the required transport, housing, education and employment infrastructure for the City. Confident City - Marketing the whole City to deliver significant growth in inward investment and tourism. This is also focused on raising the pride the City amongst the City’s residents and enhancing its reputation to those outside the City. Key events such as the discovery and re-internment of Richard III are contributing to this aim.
