Purpose

This report presents a new Economic Strategy for Lancashire County Council intended to run from 2023 to 2025.  It principally deals with the work covered by the portfolio of the Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Growth, but also includes those aspects of the portfolio of the Cabinet Member for Education and Skills as this relates to careers education, worklessness and skills development within the economy.

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order C20 have been complied with. Compliance with Standing Order C19 was not possible. The reason for this is that notification that the decision was required to be taken on 3 November 2022 was not submitted in time to meet publication of the monthly Statutory Notification of Key Decisions.

Decision

The Cabinet approved the recommendation(s) as set out in the report.
