Strategic Economic Assessment Consultation

The final Strategic Economic Assessment (SEA) report was completed in May 2010 after a period of consultation.  The assessment provides an economic, social and physical analysis of the city region with the aim of identifying key issues and challenges.  The SCR Executive Team has tried to achieve an analysis that provides a clear picture of where the economy stands and illustrate its relationship with economies that surround the city region but also to provide information that can influence and support future policy decisions.  It is intended that this work will help those local authorities who will be required to conduct their own Economic Assessment's during 2010.  The findings will also feed into the review of the SCR’s Development Plan. 

 

 

The consultation process began in November 2009 when a draft report was posted on the SCR website.  In the meantime, the city region team have received comments from a variety of stakeholders and partners.  Presentations, workshops and discussions were held with senior managers, local councillors and technical officers.  These helped to test and explore some of the emerging issues and findings.
