West Yorkshire Rural Partnership
The West Yorkshire Rural Partnership seeks to promote and deliver the sustainable regeneration of rural communities in West Yorkshire. It has taken a lead role in identifying the socio-economic issues facing rural West Yorkshire. Working closely with Yorkshire Forward, the Partnership will shortly develop a programme of activity to address these issues. This activity will specifically address improving rural productivity and access to services in rural areas. The Partnership will commission activity from legacy resources which transferred to Yorkshire Forward from the Countryside Agency as part of the Modernising Rural Delivery Review. It reports to the West Yorkshire Partnership Board
These funds will be channelled through the West Yorkshire Sub-Regional Investment Plan over the next three years and it is hoped that activity will lay the foundations for future rural delivery. Key areas for development within the Bradford District are co - location of services, virtual access to services and business incubator units. The West Yorkshire Rural Partnership is also playing a key role in identifying the priorities for West Yorkshire’s “Rural and Social Community Programme”, which is led by Yorkshire Rural Community Council and GOYH. The partnership will be commissioning programmes of activity early in 2006.
