The Welland SSP geographic area comprises a 1,000 square mile tapestry of market towns, rural communities and farming heritage.
The Welland SSP is a cross-boundary, cross-community partnership covering 5 districts* across 4 counties** and working together with local communities to produce gains for all. Welland is the only East Midlands SSP with a solely rural and market towns agenda.
The Welland SSP Economic Strategy is born from wide consultation with business and voluntary /community sector organisations.
The SSP focuses on a balanced and business-led community-wide approach, capable of delivering an effective economic programme within the context of The East Midlands Development Agency's Regional Economic Strategy.
The strongest growth in employment recently has been in the rural area of the East Midlands - over 30% since 1985 - with strong future growth expected. Over the region as a whole, and the Welland area in particular, the question how to harness the economic growth potential of the rural areas without unacceptable environmental consequences for an area where rurality is an irreplaceable asset.
The Welland focus is to encourage an entrepreneurial spirit leading to job creation, spending opportunities and regeneration of market towns.
