Cabinet considered a report seeking approval for the East Cheshire- Engine of the North: Our Vision and Strategy for Economic Growth.
This was a high level document which built upon other key strategies and policies and which set out a Vision for Growth, a Strategy for Change and an Investment Plan. The document was needed to pull together all aspects of the Council’s economic growth activity into one ‘vision’ for economic growth which succinctly captured the scale of the Council’s ambition, the potential impact on the national and regional economy and the benefits at a local level. It identified the role of the Council in delivering economic growth, and explained how the Local Plan, place-based initiatives, commissioning, infrastructure investment, business rates and access to finance would be put in place to enable the conditions for growth.
RESOLVED
That
(1) the document ‘East Cheshire - Engine of the North: Our Vision and Strategy for Economic Growth’ be approved; and
(2) the Vision and Strategy be pro-actively promoted to key influencers, locally, nationally and internationally, and to both the public and private sectors.
