    Improving transport links between northern and southern England can help reduce regional economic divides. Local Enterprise Partnerships work with local authorities and businesses to promote economic development in their areas, which often correspond to counties or larger regions. Enterprise Zones provide tax breaks and government support to attract new and expanding businesses. Local Enterprise Partnerships aim to bring new jobs and businesses to areas currently lacking economic opportunity, as seen in Lancashire where the partnership is expected to create 50,000 new jobs by next year.

    Explain how improving transport links

    can help reduce north-south divide.


    First of all, a Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) is a partnership
    between local authorities and businesses that seek to foster
    enterprise and innovation in their local area. Often the areas LEPs
    represent correspond with counties, but sometimes they represent
    larger regions, such as the New Anglia LEP. Enterprise Zones are
    areas across England that provide tax breaks and Government
    support. They are great places to do business especially for both
    new and expanding firms. LEPs aim is to convince new businesses
    and jobs for where no businesses or jobs exist.
    Some of the benefits from LEPs can be seen in Lancashire, for
    example the LEP will have created 50000 new jobs by next year.
