Have your say on council’s plan for local economy
SEFTON Council is seeking views on the draft framework of a new Sefton Economic Strategy.
Comments made from a consultation will present a rationale for the council’s growth programme, one of the four key pillars of Framework for Change, agreed by the Council in January 2017.
Strategic economic growth is a key part of the Sefton 2030 Vision that the council is developing.
A seven-week consultation has just opened and the council is urging as many people as possible to get involved.
Cllr Marion Atkinson, the Labour cabinet member for regeneration and skills, said: “This is the first draft of the framework for a new economic strategy for Sefton and we really want to hear from all sectors of our communities.
“It sets out to identify the key economic and social challenges which should be the focus of the strategy and outlines the headline economic growth objective and the framework for action.
“We recognise the importance of working in partnership with our many key partners and stakeholders from the private sector, communities, voluntary sector and local businesses.”
She added: “We are now seeking views on this important document and would be grateful if everyone could spend a few minutes completing this questionnaire.”
The consultation will run until April 27. for details, visit www.sefton. gov.uk and click on the consultation tab.
