What do you want Gloucestershire to look like in 2050?
I’ve been talking at CAP, other business networking groups and with businesses and I’m shocked with how few people are aware that currently there is a consultation going on in Gloucestershire. Glos2050 is all about setting the strategy for what Gloucestershire will look like in 2050. It proposes 8 ambitions and 6 ideas and wants feedback now.
​
The Eight Glos2050 Ambitions
  1. A magnet county: We would like to see a growing working age population, by keeping and attracting more 18-40 year olds with high level qualifications, who want to live and work in the county.
  2. An innovative county: We would like to see more businesses starting up, growing, and investing in research and innovation.
  3. A skilled county: We would like to see more people with high-level skills and jobs in skilled occupations.
  4. A prosperous county: We would like to see rising productivity and household income, offering higher living standards.
  5. An inclusive county: We would like the economic and social benefits of growth to be felt by all.
  6. A healthy, happy county: We would like people to have a good work/life balance and to see improved health and wellbeing.
  7. A connected county: We would like to see improved transport and internet connections so that people and businesses can connect with each other more easily.
  8. A sustainable county: We would like to see more efficient use of resources and more use of sustainable energy.

And The Six Glos2050 Ideas
  1. A super city combining Cheltenham and Gloucester
  2. A cyberpark
  3. A Cotswold Airport
  4. An expanded Cotswold Waterpark
  5. A Bridge connecting Lydney and Sharpness
  6. 2 Regional Parks- The Severn Vale and the Forest of Dean

Finding Out MoreThe consultation is available at https://glos2050.com/ . Please go there to find out more information and also to participate before 31st July 2018.

The Forest of Dean District Council is also reaching out to people who live, work and play in the Forest in order to set the economic strategies through to 2050. Its Forest Economic Partnership is looking for individuals who are happy to participate in sub-groups to discuss and agree the best way forward for the Forest as a whole.

To find out more visit the FEP stand at the Forest Enterprise Fair being held at Vantage Point Conference Centre on 18th April between 10-4. It’s also a great opportunity to network, take advantage of free training and meet other Forest businesses.
