The Norfolk and Suffolk Covid-19 Economic Recovery Restart Plan brings together commitments and actions from local authority, private sector, third sector and education organisations to outline the key activities in place to help our region’s economy restart after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Norfolk and Suffolk Visitor Economy Recovery Plan, from New Anglia LEP and Visit East of England, outlines commitments and actions to support our tourism and cultural sectors.

In August 2020, New Anglia LEP submitted its response to the BEIS Super Inquiry on Post-Pandemic Economic Growth. You can read the response here

Local partners have already committed to a clear vision to drive economic growth across Norfolk and Suffolk.

In the Norfolk and Suffolk Economic Strategy, we have pledged to work together to transform our economy into one of the best places in the world to live, work, learn and succeed in businesses and that ambition still stands.

We stand by the commitment made in our Local Industrial Strategy to become the UK’s Clean Growth Region, driving clean, inclusive and productive growth. This will now be a greater challenge, but new opportunities are emerging which could make significant advances in some areas of the economy. 

The wider economic and political climate of Brexit also still has a significant part to play in plans for the coming years.
