East Riding of Yorkshire Council is a member of two Local Enterprise Partnerships; the Humber LEP and York, North Yorkshire & East Riding LEP.
The East Riding is a member of two LEPs due to the wide and diverse geography of the East Riding which encompasses four functional economic areas. These functional economic areas are explained fully within our Local Economic Assessment. The two LEPs which the East Riding is a member, ensure that all our functional economic areas are covered by LEP arrangements to progress their needs and promote their assets.
