The recent Local Growth: realising every place's potential White Paper explained that local enterprise partnerships are one of several policies that we are promoting in terms of a new approach to local growth. It states that the Government will judge its overarching economic policy on whether it delivers strong, sustainable and balanced growth of income and employment over the long-term.

Individual partnerships will be directly accountable to their local communities as to how they achieve their local economies priorities. Therefore, the Government will not be estimating the amount of additional gross domestic product that would be generated as a result of the creation of local enterprise partnerships.
