The Economic Regeneration Service seeks to develop and regenerate the economy and community, with key objectives being to create employment opportunities and facilitate investment in the District.

The overall aims of the Service are to:-

• Encourage Local Business growth and diversity.

• Maximise funding opportunities to assist infrastructure development.
• Encourage individuals and organisations to adopt 'Lifelong Learning' to equip them to compete now and into the future.
• Assist in the regeneration of our market towns.

The Council encourages both competition and sustainability in all areas of the local economy. The Unit actively promotes the area and offers business development and support, and attempts to remove barriers to investment where possible.
