Cheshire East Council has developed a new strategy for the Borough which sets out a plan of how growth in the local economy can be delivered sustainably and the key priorities for the next five year period 2019 to 2024.
 
The Economic Strategy for Cheshire East outlines where the council think the priority areas are and includes a set of proposed actions to support the delivery of these actions. The strategy uses a strong evidence base and has been developed in partnership with representatives from the private sector.
 
It is still in draft form and the council are now testing the strategic thinking through a public consultation so that local businesses and residents can offer their opinions. 
 
The council would like as many people as possible to be engaged in the consultation and would very much appreciate your views. 
 
The document and consultation can be found on the Cheshire East Council website here.
 
The closing date for comments has been extended to 5pm on Sunday 13th October 2019. 
 
Once the consultation closes the council will analyse all responses, produce a summary report of them, and publish this online on our consultation webpages.
 
If you have any queries about this consultation; need the questionnaire in an alternative format; or would like an extension to the closing deadline please contact Cheshire East Council at: Carol.Young@cheshireeast.gov.uk.
