Motion TitleCity Deal for the North West

Motion TextThat this Assembly notes that the One Plan endorsed in the Programme for Government has not enjoyed full delivery traction in a number of key areas but still provides a valid and viable prospectus for driving growth in the North West; further notes that Derry and Strabane District Council have resolved to explore the potential of a City Deal for the council region and its relevance to the One Plan priorities; recognises that City Deal compacts are now developing under devolution in Scotland and Wales, as well as in their varying formats in England; and calls on the Executive and the North West Ministerial Sub-Group to join in scoping a City Deal for the North West, and encourages their best engagement to this end with the UK Treasury, council, the North South Ministerial Council and relevant stakeholders, focusing on key commitments of the One Plan and utilising the potential platform of the North West Gateway Initiative.
