Background

We are developing an Economic and Inclusive Growth Strategy for the Cumberland area. The strategy will outline key priorities and actions to drive local economic growth aligned to local, regional and national policy.

In particular, the Strategy will align with the locally relevant priorities and interventions identified within the new Cumbria Economic Strategy (Going for Growth 2025-2045) and will contribute towards delivery of the Council’s Plan (for 2023-2027) and Delivery Framework (for 2025 to 2027).

Purpose

The Cumberland Economic and Inclusive Growth Strategy is currently in development. This has been informed by an extensive evidence review. We are keen to secure inputs from wider stakeholders and the resident and business community to inform the development of the strategy. This consultation seeks feedback on the draft strategic framework which establishes the ambition for Cumberland in ten years.

The Strategic Framework

A draft strategic framework has been developed in response to the evidence that has been reviewed and which underpins the case for change in Cumberland.

The framework includes:

  • A strategic vision, which is intended to set out a 10-year view of the desired future for Cumberland’s economy, establishing the ultimate goal for delivery partners to work towards.
  • The vision statement informs a set of strategic objectives which articulate local priorities within three themes – People, Place and Prosperity.

Once formally agreed following consultation, the strategic objectives will be used to inform action planning and the road map that will be used to achieve the vision. This will all be captured in a published document which will guide economic growth activities over the next 10 years.
