The Regional Strategy for the Northwest provides a unique opportunity to bring together its spatial, economic, social and environmental strategies and build a new long term vision for the region.
Our goal is to produce an agreed strategy for the region which will guide action and investment by Business, National and Local Government and the Voluntary and Community Sectors.
Part 1 sets out the high-level framework and outlines the overarching vision, priorities and action areas for the strategy that will enable Northwest partners to work together to maximise the region’s opportunities and address the challenges over the next twenty years. Draft Part 1 of the Regional Strategy is now available.


The consultation on Draft Part 1 is open until 26th February 2010.

A series of events are being held to invite you to find out more and get involved in the consultation.

The Regional Strategy will be subject to a comprehensive Sustainability Appraisal; we welcome your feedback and comments. View the Sustainability Appraisal Report.

Building a strong and comprehensive evidence base has been essential to the development of RS2010. A summary of the evidence work to date is now available. Your feedback and comments are welcomed.
