Have your say on Staffordshire’s devolution process
Businesses based in South and East Staffordshire are invited to voice their opinions on challenges and opportunities in their local area, ahead of devolution of power to a new Strategic Authority across the region.
The Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC), which includes the regional Chambers of Burton, Lichfield & Tamworth, and Cannock Chase, has launched the Staffordshire Gateway Growth Panel to produce a report with targeted policy recommendations to support lobbying in the region.
It is also designed to understand what businesses want and need to promote economic growth specifically in their area.
To better understand the requirements of business, GBCC is now gathering insights from local businesses to understand the opportunities and challenges they face.
The survey takes around six minutes to complete.
Ruth Fleet (pictured), GBCC senior policy advisor who is leading the project, said: “The Staffordshire Gateway Growth Panel is here to listen to businesses across South and East Staffordshire.
“We want to understand the opportunities and challenges you see in the region. With more powers set to be devolved to a Strategic Authority, now is the time to make sure your voice is heard.
“If you’re based in Burton and District, Cannock Chase, or Lichfield & Tamworth, please take a few minutes to complete our survey.
“Your feedback will help us lobby for positive change: the more responses we get, the stronger the case we can make.”
