Inclusive Economy Strategy

2025-2030

Introduction

Kirklees stands at a pivotal moment. As we look ahead to 2030, we are determined to shape an economy not only stronger, but fairer and more sustainable - one that works for everyone, in every part of our district, and which guarantees a good future for our children and grandchildren. This Inclusive Economy Strategy sets out our shared ambition: to build a resilient, productive and sustainable economy where all our residents can thrive. It is a strategy rooted in the belief that economic growth must go hand in hand with social justice and environmental responsibility.

This strategy is our response. It is bold in its vision and practical in its delivery. It focuses on three clear priorities: supporting our people to develop the skills they need to access good jobs; enabling our businesses to grow, investing and leading the way in inclusive and sustainable practices; and investing in our places - our towns, villages and infrastructure - to unlock opportunity and improve quality of life.

Our ambition is rooted in the values and priorities of the Council Plan 2025-26: getting the basics right, protecting the most vulnerable, and enabling thriving communities. We are focused on delivering real change!
