What Is DICIDA-UK?

DICIDA-UK is the Development Initiative for Chemical Industry Dependent Areas in the United Kingdom.

DICIDA-UK was launched following a conference held in Stockton-on-Tees in January 1997.

The aims of DICIDA-UK are to:

(a) Ensure that national government and European Union policies and programmes assist the continued growth of the chemical industry in and across the Member States; and

(b) Enable local regions to cope with the economic, social and environmental problems created by the restructuring of the chemicals industry.

The DICIDA-UK network provides a forum where all Local Authorities and public sector agencies in areas with a concentration of employment in the chemicals industry can join forces to secure a safe future for their communities. To find out how to become involved in the network, contact Lynne Brear at the Tees Valley Joint Strategy Unit.
