Representation Summary:

* Para 16.11 indicates 6,300 jobs are required over 2008-2028; Para 7.14 shows the 100,000m² identified new floor space requirement will provide in the region of 2,500 jobs. Even allowing for some caution in interpreting and comparing these figures, they show a shortfall and raise doubts as to whether the District is doing enough to achieve the so-called step change in economic improvement.
