What we do at the Council?

The Economic Development Service aims to support a vibrant and sustainable local economy in Bath & North East Somerset by:-

• supporting local businesses and creation/retention of jobs
• promoting investment in communities
• promoting key industries such as Tourism
• developing the local workforce

The Service leads on the implementation and monitoring of Towards 2013, a ten year Economic Strategy which is shortly to be revised in light of the Bath, Keynsham, Midsomer Norton and Radstock Vision Work carried out by the Council. The strategy to date has been developed in partnership with a wide range of local organisations and partnership is key to the work of the Service which has strategic delivery arrangements in place covering business advice and area regeneration.

Over the last three years the Service has attracted over £2.5 million funding for regeneration initiatives, facilitated access to training and learning for over 2,000 people, dealt with in excess of 1,200 business enquiries and worked with 300 film productions in the area.
