Economic development
Our objective is for Tendring to have a stronger and more dynamic local economy together with a skilled workforce.

Why economic development?
	Based on a basket of current statistics there is scope for step increases in improvement in the District’s education, employment and economic performance. In common with other areas the Tendring business sector faces ever stronger competition. The imperatives for the District are the retention and expansion of existing businesses, the attraction of new businesses and the provision of a well trained, highly skilled and motivated workforce. To offer a winning competitive edge the workforce in Tendring needs a balanced mixture of academic, manager/professional and vocational skills. Top of page >>>

we aim to:
Provide more support for existing businesses. Enable strategic investment in Harwich and Bathside Bay. Implement the Harwich Masterplan. Improve the Leisure and Tourism sectors by offering good sports facilities, attractive resorts and unspoilt countryside and exploiting the District’s marine setting and heritage. Support greater rural diversification. Improve the skills of the workforce to meet the needs of the employers. Top of page >>>

what will change?
Fewer people will be without formal qualifications Retention and expansion of existing businesses leading to an increase in jobs More rural business start-ups and hence more new jobs Additional infrastructure funding channelled into the District More visitors attracted to the District creating additional jobs to service the growth in tourism and leisure Development of additional revenue streams Top of page >>>
