new State of the Region

st_peter's_sm_2.jpg

The new State of the Region section of the website replaces the previous, hard-copy versions. It provides the background to regional policy, giving a neutral, evidence-led profile of the economic, social and environmental issues facing the region.  We will maintain the narrative and the data so that the new State of the Region should always be up to date - and never out of date. 

The new product has 'download data' icons throughout, so that those wishing to access a spreadsheet containing data used can do so at the click of a button, and there are links to websites that provide more information on the given topics, or which give a different interpretation of the subject

Please note that hard copies of different sections of State of the Region can be printed out as pdf files

We are keen to know what you think about the new State of the Region. If you are aware of reports that we should be linking to, please contact Rebecca Hulbert.
