Over 15,000 full or part time Coventry and Warwickshire jobs could be created in the next twelve to fifteen years by a new ‘City Deal’ agreed for the region by government ministers, local authorities and LEPs (Local Enterprise Partnerships).

Around 9,000 jobs will be created in the engineering sector and manufacturing industry, and up to 6,000 positions could be generated with the roll out of super fast broadband in Coventry and Warwickshire.

Over £2.5 million has been earmarked by the government for investment in the broadband industry of the region; a figure which Coventry city leaders claim will multiply, generating an extra £120 million for the local economy by 2028.

With a deadline extending to March of 2015, hundreds of businesses in the Coventry are expected to apply for grants of up to £3,000 towards the costs of upgrading their broadband systems.

Other plans for investment funds under the banner of the new city deal for Coventry and Warwickshire include an apprenticeship programme to help young people into work, improvements to research & development facilities for the car industry and a new advisory and finance centre for local businesses.

Speaking about the predicted success of the City Deal for the region, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: “This City Deal marks the beginning of a new era of growth and prosperity in Coventry and Warwickshire. It has the genuine power to change the fortunes of people across the region by creating new jobs and boosting businesses.”
