We acknowledge that the overall wellbeing of our local economy is dependent on a range of issues: employment levels; investment in the local infrastructure; the educational attainment and skills of individuals of all ages; a robust and dynamic business community; the range of leisure and cultural facilities and activities; and the quality of the built and natural environment.
This theme will focus on area marketing, business and sectoral development, job creation and culture and leisure issues, all of which impact upon the image and the quality of life of the area. This is underpinned by the Council area Structure and Local Plans.
