Strategy and Policy

By monitoring the economy and national policy, the Economic Development Service is able to identify trends at both a national and local level and can then develop appropriate strategies, to provide the right conditions for sustainable growth.

Consultation on Cheshire East Draft Economic Development Strategy

The Draft Economic Development Strategy (PDF, 5.8MB) has been produced to help us shape the priorities for the local economy. It is a strategic level document at this stage – the detailed actions and programmes, and how these will be delivered will be developed over the next few months following consultation with businesses, other interested organisations and the wider community.

In the meantime we would welcome your thoughts and views on whether we have identified the right strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, global/national trends, and whether these follow through to the right high level objectives and priorities to foster the growth and development of the local economy. This will help us shape the evolution of this draft into a full strategy, not just for the Council but for the Cheshire East area as a whole.

Please complete the online Cheshire East Economic Development Strategy questionnaire by 30 September 2010.
