West Lindsey District Council is currently developing a new Economic Growth Strategy that will run from 2025 to 2030.
The aim of this strategy is to build on the successes of the Economic Recovery Plan 2021 to 2024.
This strategy aims to foster a dynamic, vibrant, resilient and inclusive economy that supports sustainable growth, meets the challenges of climate change and fulfils the economic potential of the district. This approach will benefit all communities within West Lindsey and reinforce our role in the wider regional economy.
The strategy’s objectives will be delivered through five themes, and we are now seeking feedback on these strategic themes from all stakeholders.
Cllr Trevor Young, Leader of West Lindsey District Council:
“I am delighted to launch this consultation and welcome feedback from all stakeholders on the strategic themes we have identified that will underpin our new economic growth strategy. We also invite consultees to reflect on the challenges and opportunities for the local economy – now and over the next five years.”
Sally Grindrod Smith, Director of Planning, Regeneration and Communities, added:
“While the West Lindsey economy is performing relatively well, recovering from multiple national economic shocks, there are significant emerging opportunities for the district’s economy that we are eager to realise. Moreover, we are keen to ensure that this growth potential is realised right across West Lindsey and that there are opportunities for all of our businesses and residents to benefit from a flourishing local economy into the next decade.”
The consultation is open from Monday 28 October 2024 and runs until 5pm on Friday 6December.
