Agenda item

The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director of Regeneration, Economy and Growth which set out a proposal to develop a county-wide inclusive economic strategy. The report outlined that in the development of the strategy and the detail of what is proposed, inclusivity is the key priority for the Council and the county’s strategy.   The report included the findings of an economic review undertaken earlier in the year and sought agreement for an economic statement to be used as a basis for conversations with stakeholders until the new strategy is agreed in Autumn 2022 (for copy of report see file of minutes).

Councillor E Scott advised of the exciting and interesting opportunity that would affect every family and community in the county, and provide for inclusive growth. She advised that from January to April the public, communities and business would be able to take part in conversations with the council on issues they face, which would be considered and feed into developing a new strategy that would be considered by Cabinet in the autumn of 2022.

Resolved:

That the recommendations in the report be approved.
