How can we support our local economy to grow and deliver good jobs with fair wages for our residents?
The ‘Play Your Part’ engagement exercise has now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part. We have analysed all the feedback received and a copy of the feedback report is available here and information about the Council Plan 2020 to 2024 is available here. We look forward to carrying on the conversation through more engagement on ‘Participate Now’. |
Our local economy is doing relatively well, with a number of strong businesses, low levels of unemployment and high levels of productivity. The challenge is to make sure that local people can contribute to and benefit from economic growth.

Free parking
Free parking is a major draw for people to shop in retail parks. I think if more town centers had free parking people would be more included to shop local.

Ask yourself why you need to grow the economy?
Why not concentrate on developing a sustainable economy as opposed to a myopic focus on growth? A sustainable economy will ensure that, over time, you can achieve the objectives you set out around quality of employment and fair wages. Relentlessly promoting growth will not help at all.

The Council could have a single point of contact for local businesses for advice on funding, premises, recruitment and general support

Increase the frequency of trains serving Neston including making them start and finish later.
This may be best served by seeking a transfer of the line from TfW to MerseyTravel. Alternatively improve bus links to Hooton station. The town is poorly served by public transport especially for residents who travel extensively for work.
