Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 20335

Received: 30/01/2009

Respondent: Kember Loudon Williams Ltd

Representation Summary:

This does not go far enough to achieve the "step change" in economic performance the District requires.

Needs to be explicitly stated. The creation of the circumstances that will facilitate new investment in the local economy. Economic improvements will not occur unless steps are taken to enable them to happen. A conservative approach will not achieve this. It will simply perpetuate the weak economy and levels of social deprivation. The Council must take a more proactive approach and create opportunities for economic growth that are currently missing.
