Angela Barnicle

Angela has a passion for cities and economic development and with it, delivering transformational change and inclusive growth. Having worked extensively across the UK advising on large-scale city development and transport schemes, organisational design and place positioning, Angela now leads the Asset Management and Regeneration Service for Leeds City Council. There, she focuses on realising the development opportunities and optimum real estate solutions to support the city's growth.

The Service is currently engaged in a number of Place Programmes across the city, including the delivery of the East Leeds Orbital Extension, releasing an additional 5,000 homes for the city, and the ongoing redevelopment of the South Bank — a project that is restitching the network of neighbourhoods making up the city centre and the Leeds Innovation Arc."
