LEP Board
Register of
Interests

The Companies Act 2006 requires directors to avoid situations in which a director “has (or can have) a direct or indirect interest that conflicts, or possibly may conflict, with the interests of the company”.

As a result of the Mary Ney Review into LEP governance and transparency and the revised National Assurance Framework, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government issued a new bespoke register of interest proforma for the collection and publication of the information which ensures all categories of interest are systematically considered.

These forms will be held by the LEP Executive and will be updated annually; as outlined in our Assurance Framework.

In Cornwall, we have a great opportunity to intertwine our cultural and environmental sectors as a vehicle for economic growth, as well as showing Cornwall as the leading light on building a sustainable world.

Clare Parnell on sustainable tourism

With five million visitors a year to Cornwall it’s not surprising that this can lead to pressure on infrastructure, tensions with local communities and impacts on our environment.
Managing those visitor numbers in a sustainable way is becoming increasingly important because it is the quality of the natural environment that underpins the visitor economy.

July Chair’s blog

As the country prepares for the relaxation of coronavirus restrictions from next Monday the long-term impact of the pandemic on the local jobs market is far from certain.

Since then it’s shrunk to around 1.5 million but we’ve no idea how many of those jobs will still exist over the next few months.
