Inter Regional Board

The mksm Inter Regional Board (IRB) brings together high level representatives from all tiers of Government alongside infrastructure and service providers to plan for the growth across regional and local boundaries. Membership is drawn from Local Authority elected members, Chairs of local Delivery Vehicles and Board members / senior officials from key regional and local bodies.

The IRB was established in 2004 as a response to the Government proposals set out in the Sustainable Communities Plan, and to deliver the plans set out in the mksm Sub Regional Strategy. The Board meets three times every year and focuses on key strategic issues, including addressing the barriers to sustainable growth.

Role:

• Overall strategic management of mksm programme;
• Broker partnership and cross-boundary working;
• Provide high level Government steer to partners;
• Management of strategic barriers and risks;
• Provide accountability of delivery across partners, including central Government.

The group’s membership is summarised below.
