REGIONAL ASSEMBLY

EMEL has three seats on East Midlands Regional Assembly (EMRA). We work within the Economic, Social, Environmental Partners (ESEP) Group. Our current representatives are:

  • Frank Lucas (RSPB), who is also on EMRA's Policy Board;
  • Matt Doran (National Trust), who also chairs EMRA's Environment Group;
  • Bettina Lange (CPRE), who is also on the Housing, Planning and Transport Joint Board;
  • (Nick Sandford (Woodland Trust) is our named substitute).

EMRA's Environment Group is supported by an Environment Advisory Group which includes a number of EMEL members.

EMEL is also represented on a number of other EMRA officer groups:
  Promoting Sustainable Development Group - Lisa Hopkinson (CPRE)
  Energy and Climate Change Groups - Callie Lister (FoE)

EMRA has three key roles:
  Regional planning body,
  Scrutiny of East Midlands Development Agency (emda)
  Developing regional strategies
