What needs to be done now…
•The North East has struggled to reinvent its economy and attract
in higher value added industries
•This is most visible in the performance of its city centres
•And this impacts on both the size of the wider NE economy and
the access to prosperity that residents living across it have
•Policy should focus on addressing the barriers as to why these
businesses are not coming to the North East in enough numbers
