English Regions Network Website Launched

KC3.net proudly announce the launch of their latest website for the English Regions Network.

This website is managed with a number of other sites by West Midlands Local Government Association using KC3.net's accessible content management system acms.

The English Regions Network (ERN) is the umbrella organisation for England's eight partnership Regional Assemblies.

Regional Assemblies are responsible for:

• preparing a statutory Regional Spatial Strategy, including the Regional Transport Strategy
• scrutinising their regional development agency
• integrating policy development and enhancing partnership working at the regional level across the social, economic and environmental policy agenda
• being the 'voice of the region' and speaking out on behalf of the whole of the region at a national and international level.

The role of ERN is threefold:

• to represent the collective views of Regional Assemblies to Government and other key national and European institutions
• to encourage new thinking and research on the regional agenda
• to share best practice and facilitate inter-regional networking amongst Assemblies.
