        <title>Northern Economic Campus AKA Treasury North - 2026 Update</title>
        <link>https://www.readylet.co.uk/blog/northern-economic-campus-aka-treasury-north-2026-update</link>
        <description>&lt;p&gt;The Northen Expnomic Campuss was first Launched in 2021 by then-chancellor Rishi Sunak as part of the government's Places for Growth initiative.

&lt;p&gt;It hosts staff from HM Treasury, the Department for Education, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, and several other departments.

&lt;p&gt;The campus hit the significant milestone of 1000 recruits,in the Autumn of 2024, of which more than 80% were recruited locally.

&lt;p&gt;A&amp;nbsp;new five-storey purpose-built government hub is currently under construction in Darlington, County Durham, England and is designed to accommodate more than 1,600 civil servants.

&lt;p&gt;Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, said:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Darlington Economic Campus has brought hundreds of skilled jobs and real economic benefits to this town &amp;ndash; and today we&amp;rsquo;re breaking ground on its permanent home.

&lt;p&gt;This new Government Hub demonstrates our long-term commitment to Darlington and to making economic decisions right across the country, not just in Westminster.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Minister of State at the Cabinet Office, Anna Turley, said:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Breaking ground on this new hub is a major milestone in our mission to bring the Civil Service closer to the communities it serves.

&lt;p&gt;Through our Places for Growth programme, we are ensuring that high-quality career opportunities are created outside of London, supporting economic growth across the entire country.

&lt;p&gt;This building is a visible sign of our investment in Darlington&amp;rsquo;s future, supporting and developing local talent to help deliver the government&amp;rsquo;s Plan for Change from the heart of the North East.

	If a tenant believes that their Landlord has committed an offence, they can apply to the First Tier Tribunal for a Rent Repayment Order (RRO).
&lt;/ol&gt;

There are many mandatory grounds and discretionary grounds that can be used with a Section 8, providing there is reason for this.
We have highlighted, what we believe to the most common grounds for eviction, along with the new notice periods for reference.
&lt;br /&gt;
Mandatory Grounds:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        <title>Savills predicts a 28.8% property price increase in the North East over the next 5 Years!</title>
        <link>https://www.readylet.co.uk/blog/savills-predicts-a-28-8-property-price-increase-in-the-north-east-over-the-next-5-years-</link>
        <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Savills have reported that even though concerns about the economy and tax environment have left the&amp;nbsp;general UK housing market subdued over 2025, more affordable regions such as the&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;North East&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;have proved the most resilient.
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;//readylet-static.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Savills forecast that affordability will once again become the key influence on house price performance, leading to regional variances putting&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;North East&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;at the t&lt;b&gt;op of regional house price growth for the next 5 yrs&lt;/b&gt;, alongside Yorkshire and the Humber with a forecast of&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;28.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;i&gt;Regional performance is largely influenced by where we are in the housing market cycle.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Better times ahead?

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Over the longer term, while the pace of interest rate cuts is slower than expected, they will still play a role in boosting demand and driving price growth across the UK over the next five years, says Savills.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Beyond 2026, the UK economy is also expected to be materially stronger, with low inflation, rising GDP growth, falling unemployment, and an undersupply of new homes which will maintain upwards pressure on real prices.

        <description>&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Updated 8th Dec 2025&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;The Renters&amp;rsquo; Rights Act 2025 has now completed its passage through Parliament and received Royal Assent.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;This new bill will affect both Landlords and Tenants alike, with more stringent guidelines around property standards and rent increases.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government hope that the bill will improve the current private rental system for both the 11 million renters and 2.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Phase 1: From 1 May 2026&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;tab-stops:list 36.
	Landlords will no longer be able to evict tenants without providing a valid and legal ground for possession.
	&lt;br /&gt;
	The Renters' Rights Bill will abolish the use of Section 21 Notices, meaning that Landlords must instead use the Section 8 Grounds for Possession, which are specific circumstances allowing the Landlord to regain possession of their property.
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
	&lt;li style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;tab-stops:list 36.
	The Renters&amp;rsquo; Reform Bill will see the end of fixed-term assured tenancies, instead all tenancies will be periodic.
	&lt;li style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;tab-stops:list 36.
	&lt;li style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;tab-stops:list 36.
	All future rent increases in the private rental sector will be made using the same process.
	&lt;li style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;tab-stops:list 36.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;During Phase 2 they will introduce the PRS Database and PRS Landlord Ombudsman.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Phase 3: A new Decent Homes Standard in the PRS (dates settled following consultation)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;We will introduce a Decent Homes Standard (DHS) to the PRS for the first time.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:115%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        <title>Take the stress out of BRR</title>
        <link>https://www.readylet.co.uk/blog/take-the-stress-out-of-brr</link>
        <description>&lt;p&gt;Many investors&amp;nbsp;think that BRR (Buy, Refurbish and Refinance) is currently the way to go.
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;rsquo;ve watched too many landlords burn months&amp;mdash;and countless pounds&amp;mdash;trying to navigate the refurbishment process.
&lt;br /&gt;
So let&amp;rsquo;s talk about the *three real benefits* you unlock by choosing properties that have already been professionally refurbished:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.
Skip the waiting game.
&lt;br /&gt;
2.
No more surprise invoices or days lost to chasing builders.
&lt;br /&gt;
3.
Freshly improved homes are far more appealing to reliable tenants.
&lt;br /&gt;
Plus with our properties you have the peace of mind that our 6 month warranty that we offer you to cover any snagging issues following your purchase.
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;rsquo;ve seen investors completely transform their approach (and results) by prioritising refurbed, ready-to-let stock.
&lt;br /&gt;
Because we buy and refurbish 5-10 properties every month we are able to sell fully refurbished properties cheaper than the average price of a standard property in the same area, which means that if you wish to refinance following your cash purchase you can be confident that you will be able to release much of your initial cash investment to be able to use against your next project.
&lt;br /&gt;
Are you still taking on renovation projects?

&lt;p&gt;Please call us on 01483 663001 to chat to our experienced Property Sales Team&amp;nbsp;and find out more about our fully refurbished properties for sale.
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

        <title>Record Rental Price Increases in the North East - April 2025 (Updated March 2026)</title>

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;For many, the cost of living and rising mortgage rates have made homeownership a less viable option and so renting has become a more feasible alternative.

&lt;h3 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Record Rental Price Increases in the North East&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Update from Office of National Statistics: March 2026:&amp;nbsp;The North East continued to have the highest rent annual inflation rate of all English regions, at 7.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        <title>More Train Stations could be Opening in County Durham - April 2025</title>
        <link>https://www.readylet.co.uk/blog/horden-and-other-protentional-new-train-stations-opening-in-county-durham</link>
        <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;Horden train station opened on 29 June 2020, following a &amp;pound;10.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;Politicians&amp;nbsp;have been campaigning for years&amp;nbsp;to pressure successive governments into also&amp;nbsp;reopening&amp;nbsp;the Leamside Line, which runs from Pelaw in&amp;nbsp;Gateshead&amp;nbsp;to Tursdale in&amp;nbsp;County Durham, so the North East mayor Kim McGuinness recently caused excitement (April 2025) by publishing&amp;nbsp;a map in the recent&amp;nbsp;Local Growth Plan for the region, showing the potential stations which are only &amp;ldquo;illustrative&amp;rdquo; at this stage, but&amp;nbsp;includes potential stations throughout county Durham including&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Ferryhill&lt;/strong&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;Bringing the disused route back into service, having been closed in the Beeching cuts of the 1960s, is seen as the single most important infrastructure upgrade for the economic future of the North East.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;A spokesperson for the North East Combined Authority, added: &amp;ldquo;The Leamside Line is the most important transport infrastructure project for the future prosperity of North East England.

        <title>Government Consults on Increasing EPC Requirements for Rental Properties - Feb 2025</title>
        <link>https://www.readylet.co.uk/blog/government-consults-on-increasing-epc-requirements-for-rental-properties</link>
        <description>&lt;h4&gt;Energy Performance Certificate's (&lt;strong&gt;EPCs)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An EPC is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and measures the energy efficiency of a property on a scale of A-G, with 'A' being the most efficient.

&lt;p&gt;The certificate also provides recommendations on how to improve the property&amp;rsquo;s energy efficiency with a view to achieving a better result after improvements are made to help save money for whoever if paying the energy bill and help the environment.

&lt;p&gt;Currently the government&amp;rsquo;s minimum Level of Energy Efficiency standard for all domestic private rented property is EPC band E but they have just announce (February 2025) that they are consulting on new plans to mandate all private landlords in England and Wales to meet a higher energy performance rating of EPC band C in their properties by 2030.

&lt;p&gt;Previous to this, the &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Department for Energy Security and Net Zero had proposed that all rental properties will need an EPC rating of &amp;lsquo;C&amp;rsquo; or above by 2025 the new regulations were planned to be introduced for new tenancies first, followed by all tenancies from 2028 however despite a consultation that started in 2020, the government scrapped all deadlines in Sept 2023, so it awaits to be seen if the current consultation will result in the increased EPC standards being put in place or not.

&lt;p&gt;Either way, everyone here at Readylet properties understand how important it is for the properties we sell to be as energy efficient as possible,&amp;nbsp;so as part of ReadyLets refurbishment process we ensure the properties have the following-&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Boilers+ A rated&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Thermostatic radiator valves on radiators&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Windows&amp;nbsp;double glazed&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Energy efficient light fittings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This means that the majority of the properties we sell already have EPC grade C/D.

&lt;p&gt;We also work with an EPC improvement company who is able to secure grants to improve the EPC ratings of individual properties with EPC E and below, which means that a whole suit of works can be carried out on these properties (subject to tenant qualification and property survey) which we include in the price of the properties.

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Internal wall cladding&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;New heating system &amp;ndash; air source heat pump&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Solar panels&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Additional loft insulation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

        <title>30% Rise in the Housing Waiting List for County Durham Residents - Jan 2025</title>
        <link>https://www.readylet.co.uk/blog/30-rise-in-the-waiting-list-for-housing-for-county-durham-residents</link>
        <description>&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;The Local newspaper, the Northern Echo, has recently reported that there has been a rise&amp;nbsp;of approximately 30% in the number County Durham residents that have joined the waiting list for housing in the past four years which means that the number of active applicants has increased from 7,686 2020 to 10,999 in 2024.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;This greater demand for social housing, combined with fewer properties available, has meant that the waiting times for social houses have grown significantly in this area adding to the &amp;nbsp;nationwide housing crisis.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Councillor James Rowlandson, cabinet member for resources, investment and assets, said: &amp;ldquo;Alongside a rising cost of living, higher house prices and increasing rents, we&amp;rsquo;re faced with a national housing crisis that must be addressed to ensure that everyone has access to appropriate housing and the right support.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;As part of the consultation, the council is seeking views on six key issues.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;These include: the criteria to access the housing register, better use of social housing stock, local lettings policies, how best to prioritise people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, the priority given to medical and domestic abuse cases, and monitoring and service standards.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;We are proud that at Readylet properties we are taking run down properties and refurbishing them to a good lettable standard, helping to increase the number of properties suitable for letting in accordance with the local Durham Decent Homes standard and Selective Licensing standards where necessary.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;All of the properties we sell are in areas of high rental demand and achieve excellent gross rental yields of around 10%, meaning that landlords can achieve good returns while helping with the housing crisis in the area.

&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom:11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:107%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Please find our current list of available property on the following link &amp;ndash; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:16px;&quot;&gt;Since 2021, the campus hit a significant milestone in the Autumn of 2024 of 1000 recruits,&amp;nbsp;of which more than 80% were recruited locally.

        <title>North East Technology Park gets an extra £100m funding in 2024 to continue expansion - Sept 2024</title>
        <link>https://www.readylet.co.uk/blog/north-east-technology-park-gets-and-extra-11m-funding-in-2024</link>
        <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;The North East Technology Park (NETPark) celebrated its 20th anniversary on 5th September 2024.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;NETPark is one of the UK's premiere science and technology parks and is already home to three innovation catapults and three national innovation centres, with 40 companies employing 700 people.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;Companies located at NETPark have access to a focused and international science park community where talent flourishes, ideas are generated and businesses have the infrastructure, support and resources to compete with the best in the world.

&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot; id=&quot;viewer-ja9y51209&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;Their anniversary was marked by an event with Representatives from NETPark businesses, Durham County Council, and the North East Combined Authority.

&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot; id=&quot;viewer-4neuc1212&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;All in all, we expect the expansion will unlock over 285,000 sq ft of new lab and scale-up production space and create up to 1,250 high-value jobs on site along with a further 2,200 jobs in wider supply chains.

&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot; id=&quot;viewer-fyuyn1215&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;Earlier this year, NETPark was confirmed as a Growth Site in the North East Investment Zone as part of the &amp;pound;4.

&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot; id=&quot;viewer-zxfx91218&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;North East Mayor, Kim McGuinness, said: &amp;ldquo;NETPark has become a driving force for attracting national and international businesses in Durham and the North East, demonstrating our reputation as a fantastic place to live, work and do business.

&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot; id=&quot;viewer-8mdik1221&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;As Mayor, I will back NETPark, and the whole of County Durham, so we create more jobs, attract businesses and investment and create real opportunity for local people.

&lt;p dir=&quot;auto&quot; id=&quot;viewer-m7x341224&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We have spades in the ground, with infrastructure and enabling works already underway.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;More recently the North East Combined Authority's Cabinet has approved &amp;pound;11.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;North East Mayor Kim McGuinness said: &quot;The North East is a manufacturing powerhouse, with a proud heritage, and our investments are unlocking jobs and training for local people in the industries of the future.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&quot;From battery technology to green energy, we're playing a leading role in the creating prosperity and opportunity for our region and nation - whilst ensuring people in the North East can enjoy a well-paid job where they have live, rather than leaving us to secure decent work.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;&quot;I'm determined to attract more investment for local people in the North East, and we're getting on with the job.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;The NEIZ is set to unlock growth across clean energy and green manufacturing businesses through its ten year programme.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:18px;&quot;&gt;The NEIZ will have a particular focus on offshore and renewable energy, electric vehicle and battery manufacturing, and associated low-carbon manufacturing, materials, and research.
