Key leaders to speak at Northern Agenda levelling up conference

A major conference will be held in Newcastle on Friday (March 11) to examine the Government’s levelling up agenda for regions of the UK.

Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove unveiled the Government’s white paper earlier this year, outlining targets in areas that included the economy, education, health and public transport as ministers aim to turn around decades of regional inequalities around the country.

Now the Northern Agenda has brought together a number of political and business leaders who will debate aspects of the levelling up plan.
