Growth bid is in
THE board of South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP), which covers Bedfordshire, Milton Keynes and Aylesbury Vale has chosen to promote a site in Northampton as its preferred site for a tax efficient Enterprise Zone.
Northampton Waterside will create 14,000 jobs and hundreds of new businesses.
Eight Enterprise Zone ideas were submitted for consideration by SEMLEP. This has assisted the board to recognise a number of strategic employment sites.
