Inclusive Growth Strategy
The Strategic Growth plan has been developed using a co-design approach and is the result of an extensive period of engagement with citizens, organisation and businesses. The plan has been informed by a robust evidence base, which has helped develop the outcomes, indicators and actions. An economic forecast was commissioned of the impacts of the plan, its risks alongside the development of detailed action plans outlining how the strategy will be delivered in a measurable, defined and costed way.
The Growth plan took a strategic view of the whole district, individual local plans were developed to deliver on the overall outcomes at a local level with community-based programmes and actions.
