The Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership

The Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership (D2N2 LEP) is one of 39 Local Enterprise Partnerships set up by Government to drive economic development in England.
Established in May 2011, the LEP covers the geographical boundaries of the local authorities of the cities of Derby and Nottingham in the East Midlands including the counties of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. The LEP works to generate funding, projects and investment into the two counties.
In 2020, the council at Chesterfield was given the option to remain part of the Sheffield City Region or to relinquish its membership and rejoin the D2N2 LEP. It was decided they would rejoin the D2N2 and remain a non-constituent member of the Sheffield City Region.
The LEP covers the following areas of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire:
All these settlements give the overall LEP population a total of nearly 1.9 million. The surrounding boroughs and districts around the LEP include East Staffordshire, Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire Moorlands, Warwickshire and Rutland.
