Shropshire Business Board seeks people`s views

Shropshire Business Board seeks people’s views

The Shropshire Business Board, made up of committed volunteers from the county’s private businesses and organisations such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses, is seeking views from local people about the future of the county’s economy as part of the process for developing a new Economic Growth Strategy. 

This strategy, which will set out the economic challenges and opportunities in Shropshire, is being developed in partnership with a whole range of organisations including the private, public, community and voluntary sectors.  Once finished, it will determine how resources are used to ensure that Shropshire’s economy is sustainable, and can expand and thrive up until 2026. 

People can give their views by completing the online survey or going into their local library or customer service point where someone will be able to help them to complete it.  The deadline for responses is Monday 10 September 2012. 

The final draft for publication will go before the Business Board in autumn for approval (incorporating any feedback from Shropshire Council’s Cabinet at their October 2012 meeting).  Feedback from this consultation will inform the final draft of the strategy due for publication in October.
