Interesting business breakfast this morning. Good pitch by a local authority strategic director.
Raised a chicken and egg question: which come first, the housing or the jobs? This is made particularly tough by the fact that each is “managed” by a different body. How quickly can a local authority react to a change in business needs? Would you locate to where the staff are, or base yourself in a place you like to live? Which can be changed quicker: the skills, or the availability of staff?
Must be a tough job predicting what we will need in 10 years time when most folk don’t know what they will have in 10 weeks time.
