Glasgow City Region's Economic Strategy is the result of months of extensive research. It sets out how the Region will weather current and future key challenges, some of which are expected to completely disrupt our way of life.
Councillor John Ross, Leader of South Lanarkshire Council, welcomes the Region’s new Economic Strategy. South Lanarkshire already has the highest proportion of quality jobs in Scotland – based on wages, hours and contract terms. But if we are to succeed in our Regional economic strategy mission to have the most inclusive economy by 2030, we need to do more. That is why South Lanarkshire will be at the forefront of delivering the new Regional programme to encourage employers to offer fair and healthy work practices. Some sectors are critical to our living standards - growing and enhancing the foundational economy is vital for the prosperity of communities and a key part of the new Regional Economic Strategy.
