NORTHERN WAY CLOSURE

As part of the RDAs transition and closure in March 2012, funding for The Northern Way will cease on 31st March 2011.  After that time this website will no longer be monitored or updated.

A unique collaboration

The Northern Way was a unique initiative, bringing together partners across North of England to work together to improve the economic performance of the North, and re-balance the UK.

Those issues that have confronted the North and impacted upon our success are still with us, and although we have made some tremendous progress there is still a long road to travel.  As the Northern Way comes to an end, we are handing over this legacy to our partners in the public and private sector, who will do all they can to ensure a successful North. 

We always knew that there was no short term solution to the issues facing the North of England; we hope our successors will continue to build upon our success.
