Finance & funding
The Marches area has not always received a strategic and evenly appointed allocation of funding for boosting economic outcomes
Over the last 15 years, we estimate our proportion of “devolved” funding is short by around £150m for the size of our population - receiving 0.7% of total national economic development funding for 1.1% of the UK’s population.
To achieve our collective vision to drive economic growth and prosperity across national boundaries, we are seeking a £440m real terms revenue and capital investment programme over the next 15 years, supported by £1.5m of capacity funding over the next three years, to set up Marches co-working, programme development and governance arrangements.
