A sustainable and prosperous economy

We want to be the fastest growing economy in England, making the most of our world class landscape and our energy, delivering jobs and world class skills and training to combat worklessness.

We will support development of a thriving, engaged and competitive business sector that provides high quality employment opportunities.

We will concentrate efforts on those places in greatest need, and on creating opportunities which reduce the need for young people to leave the county.

  • To make Cumbria Wealthier our priorities are:
      - Reduce worklessness
      - Encourage existing businesses to grow and attract new investment
      - Improve skills throughout Cumbria
      - Improve our infrastructure
