Recommendation 9
9
Paragraph: 42
Link freeports and investment zones to regional leaders and include them on investment groups.
Conclusion
All freeports and investment zones should be linked to a single regional leader, such as a Metro Mayor, who should be held accountable for regeneration projects and link national and local government. Ministers should consider how best to include Metro Mayors on the new Ministerial Investment Group created as a result of the Harrington Review.
