The document summarizes the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole (BD&P) Multi-Area Agreement (MAA) and Local Economic Assessment (LEA). The MAA aims to develop a strongly performing economy with higher-skilled jobs while protecting the environment. It engages public and private sectors through 2026. The LEA process involves defining projects, preparing and finalizing draft reports with evidence and consultation, and publishing the assessment to inform strategies with ongoing review. Issues include coordinating resources across authorities while ensuring momentum and priorities align with changing government views, with the goal of producing a single report and executive summary embedding the LEA within regular business.
