The Vision for Greater Norwich states:

“our aim is that it will support growth of a diverse low carbon economy which will compete globally through its world class knowledge-intensive jobs in the Cambridge Norwich Tech Corridor”.

The first part of the Delivery Statement again highlights the opportunity to “strengthen Greater Norwich’s role as a key part of the national economy with the Cambridge Norwich Tech corridor becoming an increasingly important axis linking to two other nationally significant growth corridors”

This is supported. However, the Economic Development section of the Delivery Statement then fails to mention the Cambridge Norwich Tech Corridor at all. Support for and delivery of economic growth within this corridor as a particular focus of the growth strategy should be emphasised within this section if there is a real commitment to making this happen.

This section should also refer to and set out how the plan integrates with and will help deliver the relevant ambitions of the LEP and the Norfolk and Suffolk Economic Plan. It should set out how there will be an integrated and responsive approach to working with the LEP to ensure the economic potential of the area can be realised.
