Peterborough has been allocated £11.5 million to improve the education, work skills and entrepreneurial potential of its residents under an Investing in Communities (IiC) business plan approved by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) in February 2007.
The plan, covering four years from 2007 to 2010/11, is designed to help people in the city’s most disadvantaged communities achieve their full potential and contribute to and benefit from economic growth.
The plan has been drawn up by a range of partners, working under the umbrella of the Peterborough Regional Economic Partnership, which is the overall governing body for the IiC programme in Peterborough.
