We sit at the heart of the Midlands Engine, we will be home to the East Midlands hub for HS2 in Toton, we expect to see over 60,000 houses, seven new business parks and nationally significant infrastructure built in our county.
We are striving to transform the way the Place Department operates, to increase our energy and focus on growth and investment. We want to more proactively use our £2bn property and land portfolio to harness the power of growth in our county.

Our ethos is to challenge the status quo, nurture creative thinking, welcome new ideas and embrace change.
