People’s aspirations are supported through access to education, skills development, employment, and career building
We will ensure local people benefit from economic growth by supporting career aspirations, in work progression and work-life balance. We will provide our communities with the education and tools to develop their skills, secure employment and build a successful career, investing in diverse pathways to create opportunities for all, particularly those facing barriers to employment.

There is enhanced social, community and cultural infrastructure
We will ensure that all development and growth create a positive and lasting impact in our local communities. Neighbourhood regeneration, housing, and community infrastructure will play a critical role in creating a liveable city, providing spaces for people and businesses to thrive, and ensuring long-term social and economic inclusion for everyone.
