Huntingdonshire District Council contributes to and supports the development of the local economy directly through the Economic Development service and through a range of services and initiatives such as Planning, Tourism, Housing , Leisure, Licensing, Environmental Health, Estates Management and Community Development.

The Economic Development Service offers both strategic and project-based contributions and undertakes four main roles.  These are to:

• facilitate a vision for the local economy
• provide active support to businesses
• encourage services which support the local economy
• manage and coordinate partnership projects

Businesses are informed about services and projects through our website, quarterly breakfast forums and our newsletter, District Wide (link on top-right).

The council's medium-term Local Economy Strategy is available on the right.

The Greater Cambridge Partnership and East of England Development Agency are involved in developing strategies for the region's economy.
