The Challenges
• A dependence on the nuclear industry;
• Inequality, from income and access to education to health and access to services;
• A falling and ageing population, with young people leaving and not being replaced;
• Business creation and turnover is low, and existing businesses are not diversifying;
• A dependency on local markets restricts businesses share of national and global growth;
• Public transport and business communications infrastructure does not address physical distance from domestic markets; and
• A limited range of both residential and business accommodation.
