4NW, the Regional Leaders Forum, has responsibility for housing, planning, transport and economic development. We will also be the only organisation responsible for signing off the proposed single regional strategy, RS2010, which will be produced in partnership with the Northwest Regional Development Agency. The strategy will promote the sustainable economic development and regeneration of the region, and 4NW will ensure it is democratically accountable and wholly relevant to the needs of this region.

4NW has a board of members including council leaders from each of the five sub-regions, Cumbria, Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, along with seven representatives from the private, non-governmental sector such as Manchester Airport Group, North West Universities Association and the North West Trades Union Congress - people who are responsible for delivering the strategy proposals at local level in the northwest.
