There’s a chance to take part in the final round of consultations on the development of Cumbria’s Local Industrial Strategy, which is the county’s key strategy for growing the economy, improving productivity and making sure that everyone in Cumbria can benefit from economic growth. It’s led by Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership.
The consultation events are an opportunity to contribute ideas for the further development of the Local Industrial Strategy and to share good practice, innovations and great ideas that are already being delivered in Cumbria and could be scaled up. The Local Industrial Strategy provides Cumbria’s response to government’s national Industrial Strategy, which includes maximising the advantages for UK industry of the shift to green growth.
CAfS is liasing with Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership to champion sustainability in the way that Cumbria develops, and we’d encourage you to go along to one of the four sessions in March:
