5 main things for the strategy to do

ACTIVITIES

REASONS WHY

1: HELP MORE BURNGREAVE PEOPLE GET INTO EMPLOYMENT

This is the main priority and should be done by putting in place all the stepping stones in the pathway to getting a job. There are plenty to be had and more are being created in Sheffield

2. HELP MORE BURNGREAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GOT A JOB TO ADVANCE AND IMPROVE THEIR INCOMES

A lot of people in Burngreave with a job are in work that is low skilled and low paid. The same stepping stones in the pathway to getting a job should also help people to get a better job than the one they have

3. BOOST BUSINESS IN BURNGREAVE

Existing and new enterprises in Burngreave create local jobs and provide local goods and services in the community. Their future is important and there is a lot of untapped potential to support

4. SORT OUT AND PROMOTE THE ESSENCE OF BURNGREAVE AS A PLACE FOR LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Ideas for Spital Hill, which is the main centre for Burngreave, need to be properly explored and the more industrial areas of Burngreave need attention. Once a future is agreed, the opportunities should be widely promoted for investment

5. CAPTURING MORE JOBS, TRAINING AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FROM WIDER INVESTMENT

A lot of what is going on in Burngreave and Sheffield may not be under the economic development label. But it creates jobs, needs people with skills and could be done by new (often social) enterprises. Closer working by all concerned should make sure these opportunities are not lost to Burngreave
