Leicestershire and Leicester Multi Area Agreement
A Multi Area Agreement (MAA) is a cross boundary agreement that contains elements of and supports work contained in theLocal Area Agreements of those areas sharing that boundary.
Multi Area Agreements complement the Local Area Agreements, they bring together key players and provide flexible ways to tackle issues that are better addressed in partnership.
The MAA has a clear focus on economic development. The agreement’s aim is to inspire businesses, residents and investors in our City, Market Towns and rural areas. It provides the opportunity for the Voluntary and Community Sector, City, County and District Councils and other partners, notably emda, the Learning and Skills Council, JobCentre Plus and the three local universities, to work together on this very important agenda and to build a strong relationship between local, regional and central government and its agencies.
