Our draft ‘Solihull Economic Strategy’ sets out our ambitions and priorities for the next ten years. Working with partners, our vision is to create the UK’s best-connected economy – for business, for people, forever.

This key Council Strategy looks to deliver further and better economic growth within Solihull, whilst ensuring:

  • All our communities can participate and benefit
  • We achieve our net-zero aspirations for the borough
  • We create thriving places which become centres of our communities and support local people

To accompany the new Strategy, we have also developed a Delivery Plan, which sets out the practical steps we will take to achieve the aims identified in our strategy. This document provides a phased plan for the Council and its partners to follow, with a focus on the first three years.

The actions within the Delivery Plan complement existing activity already taking place within the borough, and builds on work already being undertaken through other key strategies (including the Net Zero Action Plan, Solihull Connected, Local Plan and WMCA Plan for Growth).

Tell us what you think
We have worked closely with partners and key stakeholders to develop our Economic Strategy. We believe the ambitions, priorities and actions set out in our draft Strategy and Delivery Plan provide an exciting, fair and achievable road-map for continued borough-wide economic growth over the next decade, but we want to know what you think. Do you agree with our vision? Have we got our priorities right? Is there anything we've missed? Let us know!

You can download the draft Strategy and accompanying Delivery Plan using the links in the ‘Documents’ panel on the right-hand side of this page.

Once you’ve had a chance to take a look, share your thoughts by filling out the survey below, or direct any questions you might have to the Sustainable Growth team using the ‘Questions’ tab.

The consultation will run for six weeks, from Tuesday 31 January to Wednesday 15 March.
