Green Economic Growth Strategy

In December 2020 Cotswold District Council adopted a Green Economic Growth Strategy as part of our commitment to supporting business and growing the local economy in a sustainable way. 

We have begun a consultation on our refreshed Green Economic Growth Strategy.  

Please click on the link below to view the refreshed strategy:

The document aims to build on the success of the strategy adopted in December 2020 and in many ways is a continuation of that plan. 

Take part in the consultation here.

We want to make sure the voice of businesses, residents and other key stakeholders is heard in relation to the strategy so please do respond to the consultation if you are able to. The consultation is open until 5pm Friday 17 January.
