First of all, thank you and well done to the AOA,
it's nice to finally see something done that directly benefits the LEP. This has got a lot of LEP's talking and we are extremely impressed and very happy to hear about it.
Regarding the wonton noodles...the reason why LEPs dont join is because they don't see any direct benefit LEPs (housing negotiation, basings, etc) but they need to see it's much more than that
, as a result there are low numbers in the AOA, and a lack of representation- its a viscous cycle really.
I signed up when I first joined, got quite a few others to join now. Seeing this recent progress is great news for the LEP and it will do more to drum up support to join.
