Task force to protect North East landscapes and support local businesses with £17M investment.

Political leaders are planning to launch a task force to protect the North East region's landscapes from climate change and support local businesses, particularly in farming and food production. The North East Combined Authority will approve a £17 million investment plan, aiming to attract up to £25 million more over five years. The funding will support nature recovery programs and business growth. The task force will seek additional investment sources as the UK Shared Prosperity Fund ends next March.
