Wealden District Council is working with businesses, councils and other key partner organisations to promote economic growth and jobs.
Wealden Area
Wealden District Council is committed to economic development and supports the continued implementation of the East Sussex Economic Development Strategy.
East Sussex Area
Economic development is one of East Sussex County Council’s highest service area priorities.
The East Sussex Growth Strategy was published in December 2014 after extensive consultation. It sets out an ambitious vision for the East Sussex economy to 2020 and beyond, identifying the major economic opportunities across the county and the collective actions that public and private sector partners will take to accelerate economic growth.
It is built around three key pillars:
- Business: Enabling business growth, particularly of high value businesses
- Places: A significantly valued asset to the East Sussex economy
- People: Meeting the skills needs of business and supporting residents to reach their full potential.
Further county economic development and growth information including the current East Sussex Economic Development Strategy, can be found on the East Sussex County Council Website.
Please contact the East Sussex County Council Economic Development Team for further help and advice.
