List of Green Bank ‘bidders’ announced<br />
Gloucester is one of three Councils in the south west bidding to be chosen as the location for the first ‘green bank’<br />
in the country. Bristol and Torbay make up the region’s challenge out of a total of 32 towns and cities across the<br />
UK which have submitted bids. The £3bn project is aimed at driving investment in new green technologies and<br />
business. The new bank will assist in unlocking significant new private investment into green infrastructure<br />
projects, supported by a team of professionals who understand the new technologies involved. The Gloucester<br />
bid – produced by the economic development team at the City Council – has received fantastic support. Local<br />
business, public sector partners and the Local Enterprise Agency have all pledged support.<br />
City Council Leader, Paul James, commented: “ The competition is very strong but Gloucester offers all of<br />
the right credentials to host this project. We are a vibrant, action-packed city with a track record of<br />
environmental innovation, an expanding financial sector and strong manufacturing credentials. At a time of<br />
economic recession we can demonstrate that we have managed to attract £500 million worth of inward<br />
investment. I believe we have made a very strong case.”<br />
And he added: “The opportunity for Gloucester to bid to<br />
be the base for the new Green Investment Bank was<br />
originally ‘flagged up’ by City MP, Richard Graham, who<br />
is supporting the council’s application.”<br />
Chair of Gloucestershire’s Local Enterprise Partnership<br />
Diane Savory said: “The prospect of a Green Investment<br />
Bank is really exciting and we feel Gloucester brings the<br />
right mix of specialist expertise, location and value for<br />
money to host it. In our view it would be the best place<br />
for the bank to prosper and we are really pleased to be<br />
supporting the council’s proposal.” A decision from the<br />
Government is expected later this month.<br />
