Nottingham City Council is set to create 15,000 new jobs over the next three years according to a new plan signed off last week.
Invest NewsThe 2019-2023 plan, which sets out the Council’s agenda for the beginning of the next decade, outlines five key objectives.
The Council is proposing to build or buy 1,000 Council or social homes for rent and create 15,000 new jobs for Nottingham people. It will also build a new Central Library, aim to reduce anti-social behaviour by twenty five per cent and ensure that Nottingham is the cleanest big city in England.
It has made a total of 185 pledges in the plan under five key headings – Nottingham People, Living in Nottingham, Growing Nottingham, Respect for Nottingham and Serving Nottingham Better – and will work in partnership with local organisations and businesses to improve transport and housing, create jobs, promote equality and support inward investment.
The Council says it will be “more business-like” in its approach in order to cut costs and maximise income.
“In this plan, we set out our priorities for 2019-23 with the aim of improving our great city while keeping citizens at the heart of everything we do. It is about the future of our city for all who live, work, study, invest and visit here. We will use this document to lead the plans and decisions we make over the next four years. Our goal is for Nottingham to be an internationally successful and prosperous city that offers its residents the opportunity to realise their potential. Nottingham will be a thriving, sustainable city both socially and economically. We will work with our partners and communities to ensure vulnerable citizens are supported to live independently and are safe from harm.”
