We will build a prosperous sustainable and inclusive economy - performance

The Council plays a fundamental role in developing and strengthening the local economy by fulfilling a number of functions - as the largest employer, a provider of advice and support to new and existing businesses in the delivery of infrastructure and in the provision of education and training opportunities.

A strong, sustainable local economy provides a catalyst for physical and social regeneration by encouraging new business development, providing a broad range of employment opportunities, ensuring that the same level of household incomes increase and stimulating the property market.
