Economic Development Strategy 2024 - 2028

Results updated 21 Oct 2024

'Confident in Kingston', our Economic Development Strategy 2024-2028, has now been published. Thank you to everyone who shared their views with us. 

Kingston will be increasingly recognised as a place where business flourishes, where investment is welcome and serves all parts of the borough, where all residents and businesses can benefit from good growth and where a green economy is at the heart of our actions.

We’ll achieve this by working closely with, and enabling action from, partners and stakeholders, being ready for change in a fast-changing world and ensuring that no residents are excluded from the opportunities the future brings.

The strategy is based on a strong evidence base and extensive consultation and partner input gained in early 2024 which have informed a set of five key outcomes:

1. Kingston recognised as a great location.
2. A leading green economy.
3. Adaptable, thriving town centres and places of work.
4. A fairer economy.
5. A place of active, productive collaboration.

Each outcome has a set of actions and measures of success that will be monitored and reported upon regularly.
