name: Tees Valley Local Enterprise Partnership
notes: Previously known as Tees Valley Unlimited
  
  
  According to the Tees Valley Combined Authority website: "When the Tees Valley Combined Authority was established in 2016 the Combined Authority and the LEP came together as one organisation, with a shared purpose and brand."*
  
  
  Local Enterprise Partnerships are responsible for spending the proceeds of business rates growth generated within an enterprise zone* and are often responsible for further public funds too.  The Local Enterprise Partnership is probably not formally subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 however we list it here due to its public role for example in distributing public funds and setting priorities for investment in roads, buildings and facilities.
  
  While the LEP is the decision making body you may wish to consider making your request to a body which is formally subject to FOI such as a relevant local council or central Government department.
