The LEP maintains a pipeline of projects which support the delivery of the Humber’s strategic objectives. There are currently over 60 projects in the pipeline and the purpose is to have a broad overview of potential schemes in the Humber area.

Some will be brought forward for appropriate funding, such as Growth Deals as it becomes available subject to the full decision making process outlined in the Humber LEP’s Accountability and Assurance Framework.

Information about projects which have already been allocated resources is available in our Projects section. Any future calls for projects will be publicised on this page.
