The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority is developing its Local Growth Plan, which will set out how the Mayoral Combined Authority aims to support the Government’s mission to secure the highest sustained growth in the G7 – with good jobs and productivity growth in every part of the country.
The Local Growth Plan will be a locally owned, 10-year strategy which will set out how the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority will use its devolved powers and funding to drive growth in the region.
It will build on the region’s unique strengths and opportunities to support growth-driving sectors, identify wider business environment priorities, and provide a framework to focus and unlock investment.
As we develop the Plan, we want to hear from people who live and work in the region to understand the opportunities for growth.
Whether it's improving skills and job opportunities, supporting local businesses, enhancing transport and infrastructure, or encouraging innovation in key industries, we want to hear your thoughts. You could consider:
Opportunities: What industries, services, or projects could help create more jobs or attract investment to our region?
Challenges: Are there barriers, such as housing affordability or skills gaps, that need to be addressed to support growth?
Sustainability: How can we balance economic growth with environmental sustainability?
Your community: What would make a difference in your local area, and how could we involve local people and businesses?
