Decision details

RESOLVED

1.         That Cabinet approved the North East Derbyshire Growth Strategy 2021-2024.

2.         That the Director of Growth and Economic Development be authorised to make non substantive amendments to the documents in consultation with the Portfolio holder for Economic Growth.

REASONS FOR DECISION

The strategy will guide future work and resource allocation in order to promote economic growth in the District. This is key goal for the Council and would play an important part in improving the lives and wellbeing of North East Derbyshire residents.

OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED

The option of not establishing a Growth Strategy was considered but rejected. Without a strategy regeneration activities undertaken within the District would be delivered in an uncoordinated manner and this could lead to an inefficient and ineffective use of limited resources.

Please note that this was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with immediate effect by officers
