Rural Strategy


The 2003 Rural Economic Strategy has been produced to set the direction for development to meet the holistic needs of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly during the next decade and is not aimed at any particular funding stream.

  • Create sustainable, quality job opportunities.
  • Support schemes (including co-operation and collaboration) which enable entrepreneurs and micro-businesses to develop their business and improve viability.
  • Support community enterprises, facilities and groups that find innovative ways to deliver and provide access to services.
  • Develop a sustainable and integrated transport network accessible to all.
  • Encourage energy conservation and support sustainable energy production
  • Maximise the economic contribution of quality Tourism, Leisure and Recreation.
  • Support co-operation between relevant organisations to supply affordable homes for identified need.
  • Promote and support sustainable economic development which utilises and enhances environmental capital.
