The International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP) will help the North East cement its place as a global leader in advanced manufacturing and innovation. A joint scheme led by South Tyneside and Sunderland City Councils, this nationally significant infrastructure project is expected to support more than £400m of private sector investment and create around 7,200 jobs over the next 10-15 years. The site has attracted more than £41m investment through the North East LEP’s Local Growth Fund towards infrastructure. Both councils have signed a joint-agreement with South Tyneside College, Sunderland College, and the University of Sunderland to ensure that IAMP has the skilled workforce needed to succeed and that local people have opportunities to secure new, skilled jobs. Work is already underway on IAMP One – the first phase of this game-changing development.

The LGA Labour Group exists to fight the corner for Labour councillors at a national level, both within
the cross-party Local Government Association and with the Labour Party at Westminster. The Group provide a strong voice for Labour councillors and act as a platform for ideas and innovation for all those committed to an effective localist element to Labour politics and policies.
