With the launch of the Barnsley Development Agency partnership
in the year 1998, economic development and regeneration activity
in Barnsley took a giant leap forward. The partners are Barnsley
Metropolitan Borough Council, the Voluntary Sector Forum, the
Barnsley Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Business Link South
Yorkshire and Barnsley College. The partnership recognises the
fact that for many years individuals and organisations across
the UK involved in economic development have agreed that to
achieve a really coherent partnership-based strategy, a higher
level of integration is required. |
Barnsley Development
Agency represents the fulfilment of this widely recognised objective,
with all the keyplayers in economic development / regeneration
in Barnsley signed up to a shared strategy across a wide range
of interconnected projects and initiatives. The core practitioners
in the implementation of economic development, Business Link
South Yorkshire, The Council's Inward Investment and Development
Team, Barnsley Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the new
Community Economic Regeneration team (CERT) are now co-located
to Beevor Court. This new partnership organisation will create
a new powerhouse for driving forward the economic and physical
regeneration of the Barnsley economy, infrastructure and environment,
and the securing of rewarding jobs and opportunities for the
maximum possible number of our citizens.
