Formerly called | North Wales Economic Ambition Board Bwrdd Uchelgais Economaidd Gogledd Cymru (Welsh) |
Ambition North Wales (Welsh: Uchelgais Gogledd Cymru) is a joint committee and decision-making body overseeing the North Wales Growth Deal (Welsh: Bargen Twf Gogledd Cymru or Bargen Twf y Gogledd), a regional economic growth deal covering the North Wales region. It is a partnership between the six local authorities of Conwy County Borough, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey, and Wrexham County Borough, and other local partners in the region, including Bangor University, Wrexham University, Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, Coleg Cambria, and various private sector representatives.[1][2][3]
The North Wales Growth Deal was signed on 17 December 2020, spanning 15 years. Unlike the city regions in South Wales, North Wales lacks a definitive main economic and urban centre, with settlements such as Bangor, Llandudno, Deeside, Holyhead and Wrexham all having roles in the regional economy. The deal involves £240 million committed by the UK and Welsh Governments (£120 million each), with the remaining £906 million from other partners in the public and private sector, totalling the deal to be worth £1.1 billion. This funding was committed on 4 November 2019,[4][5] with the deal itself signed on 17 December 2020.[2]
