There is so much information about LEPs it is hard to know if you are looking at the most recent information. Here I aim to have collected the best sources for each LEP.
If you have anything to add/amend please let me know via twitter @lornagibbons or lorna_gibbons@hotmail.com
By way of introduction to LEPs I suggest you read this Commons Library Standard Note http://www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/SN05651 and have a look at the DCLG business plan (s.3) on LEPs http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/corporate/pdf/2154390.pdf. The LEP Network website is very useful http://www.lepnetwork.org.uk/ I would recommend signing up to their newsletters.
Over the next couple of months I would suggest these areas would be of interest:
a) City Deals for example the Core Cities by July with more to follow soon after eg http://www.communities.gov.uk/statements/corporate/manchestercitydeal
b) Devolving local major transport schemes http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/dft-2012-04 - Government response expected in July
c) LEPs and EU funding 2014-2020 following a BIS Informal consultation on the future delivery of EU Structural Funds, Rural Development Fund and Maritime and Fisheries Fund in England from 2014 to 2020 - this may include LEPs... http://www.bis.gov.uk/policies/economic-development/european-structural-and-cohesion-funds
I'm also involved in a National LEP Cross-Country Research Project. More information here: http://harrisresearch.co.uk/?p=607
Current best practice would suggest LEPs may want to look towards these areas:
a) planning charter
b) business / regulator charter
c) encouraging apprenticeships
d) encouraging entrepreneurship in young people
e) delegated to LEPs or groups of LEPs major transport funding
f) working with central government to deliver some EU priorities 2014-2020 (matched centrally)

Under the Government's plans, enterprise zones will be encouraged to develop Tax Increment Financing Schemes, which allow councils to borrow against future business rates revenues.
