Key Reasons:
Leeds is the regional capital and the main centre for public administration within Yorkshire and the Humber. It is home of the Government Office, the regional development agency Yorkshire Forward, and the regional office of the Homes & Communities Agency. Several government departments and non-departmental public bodies and arms-length bodies have a major presence in Leeds.
Leeds is the third largest location outside London for public administration, with 19,000 employees, and the second largest outside London for employment in education, with 42,000 employees. The health sector in Leeds employs around 43,000 people. In total, around 110,000 people work in the public sector in Leeds, almost 27% of the workforce.
Leeds City Council is working with its partners in the public and private sectors to encourage the relocation of civil service posts to Leeds from London and the South East, and to ensure that Leeds has the complete solution for such relocations, including skilled people, ‘BREEAM Excellent’ properties and a package of relocation assistance. There are a number of developments and sites within a ten-minute walk of Leeds railway station that offer ideal accommodation for the large office campuses proposed in the Civil Service in the Regions initiative.
