The report contains a City Region Deal overview, Financial Statement (for the financial year 2023-24), a short summary of progress on each project and programme and expected milestones to be achieved in the next year. Seven case study videos are included in the report to demonstrate how the Deal’s projects and programmes are benefiting people.

    • Adding £2.2bn Gross Value Added to the Scottish and UK economy

    • Supporting 900 micro, small and medium enterprises
    • Supporting 500 apprentices and internships
    • Donating over £100,000 to regional good causes
    • Leveraging an additional 45% on government funding drawn down thus far

    Some of the benefits as a direct result of the Deal investment have now been calculated and include:

    • £1.5bn of Gross Value Added to the City Region, Scottish and UK economy
    • Over 18,000 job opportunities created and supported
