Involving the community to drive possibility

CWAC's strength lies in its people and their close connections as part of a networked community.

The business community and those sitting within community groups are experiencing a level of fatigue from the lack of action regarding the city's future.

There is a level of frustration which needs to be addressed by CWAC with open, transparent communication on plans and how the city and borough will build resilience in times of challenges the economy will face over the next two years.

Challenges of the next two years will be felt more acutely in the retail, hospitality and construction sectors; for CWAC, that impact will be painful due to the business demographics of Chester.

CWAC must consider repositioning jobs with a new lens for the retail and business sectors and how it can build talent and skill sets.

The business community wants a clear direction and vision for the city.

The creative and cultural sectors are equally as important within CWAC as digital and technology - their voice needs to be heard and acted on.
