A Masterplan for Herefordshire
Alistair Neill
Chief Executive Herefordshire Council
Building our economic master-
plan
• Business Summit, 28th Feb 2014
Building our economic master-plan
• Working through our LEP
• Providing the LEP with the ammunition to do its work.
• Giving us the tools to ‘sell’ the benefits of investing in
Herefordshire.
Strong foundations
• £252 mill capital investment scheduled
• 8,775 new jobs planned
• 114 hectares of employment land
• 16,500 new homes
Looking ahead – let’s be ready
• 2010 – public debt: £600 bill
• 2015 – public debt: £1,300 bill
• ……..Rising at £280 mill per day
• ………..Costing £50 bill p.a. to service the interest.
• Big changes inevitable – we need to stand out as a
competitive county among competing regions.
• Business needs to be in driving seat – supported by the
public sector
council is dealing with huge
funding cuts
• Herefordshire Council fully engaged with need to radically
change and reduce its costs.
• On target to reduce expenditure by over £67 mill by 2016/17.
3 goals for our master-plan
1. Agree our economic priorities and our focus
2. Plan how to deliver these
3. Present these coherently to Investors
What Priorities?
•2 are showstoppers – if we really build our ambitions around
them, they can become our rocket launchers:-
• Educational Attainment
• Skills
The New university of
Herefordshire
• Key to success
• Can become one of the biggest cogs driving our economic
machine.
• Fundamental for the right skills.
• Fundamental to have them in Herefordshire.
Our Masterplan will have worked
if…
•…..we succeed in closing the earnings gap with the West
Midlands and UK:-
•
• £20,000 Herefordshire
• £25,000 West Midlands
• £27,000 UK
Our economic master-plan
proposal
• 15 years, split into 3 blocks of 5 years.
• Incorporating our scheduled plans.
• Building on our ambitions.
• Showing how they connect.
• Containing our stretch goals.
Private sector needs to own it,
lead it.
We’ll support getting there.
• Now it’s your turn –
• how can we drive economic development by building
Herefordshire’s Economic Master-plan?
Breakout Session Themes:
• Transport and Infrastructure
• Broadband
• Housing
• Business Support
• Construction
• Environment
• Education, Employability and Skills
