Rural Economy Study
West Lancashire District Council commissioned an independent research study to
investigate:
- how the rural economy of the district works
- what types of businesses there are
- how these businesses are doing
- what they think they need to be more successful, and the
barriers they encounter which could prevent future growth
The report is available to download Rural Economy Study.
This information will help the Council and the LSP to decide the best
way to go about helping businesses and to regenerate the rural
areas in the future.
Strategy
A suggested Action Plan is contained in
the Study and
the Council and LSP
are currently assessing how to take forward priority activities for the rural
areas of the District over the next 10 to 15
years.
The project has been funded by the North West Development Agency
through the West Lancashire Investing in Business Programme.
