Local Enterprise Partnerships were bodies enabled in order to replace the Regional Development Agencies of the previous government. Their boards are composed of local and national business people (including house builders), local authority politicians, representatives of the armed forces, and representatives of higher education establishments. The board is effectively self-selecting, undemocratic and unaccountable. It is a channel through which central government money for housing and commercial property development are channelled. The body containing Guildford is Enterprise M3 LEP.
