A 10 year Sussex local prosperity plan – to promote a sustainable economy for all in Sussex
Planning a future economy that develops with safeguards for our health, restores nature, and reduces harm caused by climate change
Climate and nature action go hand-in-hand with economic growth, safeguarding our children’s future
We call on the Mayor to lead the development of a local prosperity plan for Sussex that features:
People and communities at the centre
Work with businesses to understand the support they need, and engage communities to identify the priorities that will help them thrive
Future facing
Create a highly-skilled, economically prosperous region, with vibrant green manufacturing, services, and innovation
A skilled workforce, and good clean jobs
Equip our future workforce and leaders with the education and training needed for a sustainable future, creating skilled, clean local jobs
A fair economy
Build a fairer economy by keeping more money circulating locally to strengthen local communities and businesses
Energy security
Strengthen energy security to protect jobs and keep homes warm during global instability and conflict, removing national grid capacity barriers to a thriving economy
A circular and sustainable economy
Create a circular economy that reduces waste, supports repair and reuse, generates skilled local jobs, and recognises that a healthy natural environment—with clean air, clean rivers and thriving wildlife—is the foundation of a thriving local economy
