Newport is the gateway city to South East Wales and is a key Welsh economic location. Radical post- industrial economic restructuring has taken place in recent decades which has seen a decline in traditional activities centred on the steel industry, with modern, high-end manufacturing and growth in the service sector taking its place at the centre of Newport’s economy. Support for establishing a prosperous and thriving economy for Newport has been a longstanding commitment for the One Newport LSB and its partners. Much has already been achieved to boost the local economy and help realise the city’s growth potential. However, the city has not been immune to the effects of the recent global economic recession, and effective positioning is critical to achieving recovery in the new economic climate. There is currently great financial uncertainty and global factors will continue to impact upon the economies of Newport and elsewhere. In this context, the city’s partners are committed to doing everything they can to create the right conditions for new and existing businesses to grow, and continuing investment to be attracted to the city. The global economy is transforming and modern businesses need locations fit for the future; environmentally sound, but committed to enterprise, opportunity, and growth. Despite the impacts of the economic downturn, Newport remains a strategically important pillar of the Welsh economy with GVA levels amongst the highest in Wales. Wales faces a turbulent economic future, and Newport is no exception. However, the city also has great potential to support the Cardiff the Capital in revitalising the national economic climate. Newport plays a vital role as a provider of job opportunities for the South East of Wales, and the former Gwent authority areas in particular. The density of jobs in Newport, in terms of the positions available per head of working-age population, is second only to Cardiff. Independent research by the BBC with Experian has mentioned that Newport’s excellent recent improvements in educational attainment also contribute to this resilience as we look to kick-start responsible growth. A survey by Experian to find the best performing UK towns and cities of 2013 found that many businesses are succeeding in Newport. It ranked second, behind only Aberdeen, for having the largest proportion of high-growth businesses. Wages available are comparable with the Welsh national average, although this is not represented in the earnings of residents. This demonstrates both that Newport still offers high-end, attractive jobs that will draw in the best from our large travel-to-work catchment area, but also that there remains a disconnection between local people and access to higher-earning jobs. However the traditional mix of economic activity in Newport, with outputs and employment largely centred on the public sector and production, have left the city vulnerable to macro-economic factors in the past, and the high rate of private sector employment growth experienced in 2009/10 must be balanced against a declining long-term trend and more recent losses in the public and manufacturing sectors. Nevertheless, the ambitious development programme for the city has continued despite the uncertain financial outlook in recent years. In 2011 the new City Centre Campus of the University of Wales Newport opened to, award-winning acclaim, alongside a number of peripheral schemes - a testament to Newport’s continuing potential to attract inward investment as an attractive business location. Tourism figures continue to show an increase in visitors to the city, as Newport benefits from the Ryder Cup legacy and improvements to the city centre and surrounding areas. The Admiral building which opened in November 2014 currently accommodates 600 people and could eventually bring upwards of 1,200 jobs into a revitalised city centre and pave the way for the Friar’s Walk development which is progressing well, ahead of its planned opening in autumn 2015. The construction of the Wales International Convention Centre at the Celtic Manor Resort, which is planned to open in the summer of 2018 will provide a fitting economic legacy to the Ryder Cup and the NATO Conference. This development, an investment of £60m, also reflects Page | 3 Newport’s growing international reputation as a premier business conference destination, and there is evidence of increased business tourist visitor numbers and tourism

    Stronger Together Prosperity for Aberdeen 2017-2022 Aberdeen City Council Conservative and Unionist Party, Aberdeen Labour and Independent Alliance Group Programme for Aberdeen City Council 2017-2022 Our Vision As a returning coalition, we intend to build on what we have already put in place between 2012 and 2017. The Council’s strategic business plan refresh, approved unanimously at the Council’s Budget meeting in February 2017, agreed the alignment of the Strategic Business Plan to Aberdeen City Community Planning Partnership’s Local Outcome Improvement Plan, as well as alignment to the coalition’s policy document “Smarter Aberdeen”. Our new policy document “Stronger Together” for 2017 to 2022 builds on the 2017-2018 strategic business plan, thereby ensuring the continuity of the priorities we set in our last administration whilst incorporating some new priorities which are a direct response to the changing economic and social conditions the City now faces. We recognise, of course, that our priorities must be delivered within the financial parameters agreed by the Council at the Budget meeting in February 2017. Aberdeen has been the northern powerhouse of both the UK and Scottish economy in recent times, but the fall in the global oil price has seen Aberdeen’s economic contribution reduce. We know the strength of the City’s business community and we commit to working with the business community and all relevant public partners in order to ensure the conditions for future business success are in place within the City. To unlock the economic potential of Aberdeen and reduce inequalities in our city, we see greater devolution of powers to the City from the Scottish government, and where applicable the UK government as a key requirement.

  • Aberdeen History Trail the City Through Its Historical Times
    Aberdeen History Trail The city through its historical times #aberdeentrails #aberdeentrails Aberdeen is bursting full of history! From its ancient origins to medieval burghs and King Robert The Bruce, from the Jacobite connections to the expansion in the Edwardian and Victorian times, the ‘Silver City by the Golden Sands’ has a long, important, and interesting history with many of its people contributing to the wider world. The city started out as three separate royal burghs – Old Aberdeen, New Aberdeen and Torry plus the parish of Woodside – which expanded and merged together to form the city as a whole. There was a major expansion in the Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian eras as the city made its first fortunes based on fishing, granite quarrying and shipbuilding and many of the grand buildings were built during these times. It also included the main thoroughfare, Union Street, which was raised up away from the mud and dirt and built on a series of bridges – it was such a major project it almost bankrupted the city! Enjoy exploring our beautiful city and finding out about its history!
