This evidence paper sets out a range of the recommendations that have emerged from our analysis and interviews. Whilst in the overview paper we have highlighted our recommendations about the key priorities, this paper sets out a range of recommendations under five themes:
a. Economy;
b. Place;
c. People;
d. Leadership; and
e. Image.
Under each strand this paper sets out a rationale for action and some details of activities that could be undertaken to transform North Staffordshire. These are not prioritised in terms of timing. All of these recommendations are underpinned by a commitment to sustainable development and managing the environmental impact of all projects. With such a significant physical and social transformation of the area planned, North Staffordshire has a real opportunity to lead the way in this area.
