Working in partnership
What we do
The East of England Regional Assembly is independent of Government and represents the regional interests of people living and working in the East of England (comprising Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Peterborough, Luton, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock). It exists to promote the economic, social and environmental well-being of the region.
The Assembly:
- Advises Government on regional planning, housing and transport issues, including priorities for public spending;
- Scrutinises the work of the East of England Development Agency (EEDA);
- Provides services to local government such as training, consultancy and advice as the regional employers organisation;
- Hosts the regional improvement and efficiency partnership 'Improvement East' for local and fire authorities
We also aim to work with our partners and stakeholders to promote equality of opportunity, eliminate discrimination, promote good relations, well being and regional cohesion.
