The strategy developed has a clear focus on building resilience and flexibility in the Area so that:
• people and businesses are well placed to address and adapt
to the challenges facing them;
• the area and its communities become more sustainable so that local people
can continue living and working in the area;
• it remains an area of outstanding natural beauty where communities
are protective of their natural heritage;
• businesses are innovative and competitive at home and abroad, providing well-paid jobs, skills and leadership and an economy where
businesses can thrive.
The four strategic aims of our Local Development Strategy are:
• linking and adapting businesses for improved economic performance;
• sustaining communities through community enterprise and linked service
provision;
• marketing and sustaining the area’s unique selling points;
• building the capacity to deliver rural development locally.
