Overview
The Draft Outer Hebrides Economic Strategy 2025-35 sets out a vision for an Outer Hebrides which is thriving, prosperous and sustainable. It sets out how the Comhairle will prioritise its focus and resourcing in relation to economic development over the coming decade by identifying measures of success, and priority areas for activity across three key themes: Key Sectors, People and Place, and Infrastructure.
Why We Are Consulting
Consultation is being carried out to inform the final version of the strategy. To support this, it would be helpful if feedback could be framed in relation to the following areas:
- Do you support the vision of what a successful Outer Hebrides will look like by 2035?
- If not, what would you include / remove from this vision, and why?
- Do you agree with the areas highlighted in the area SWOT analysis?
- If not, what would you add or remove from this, and why?
- Do you agree with the three themes of the strategy:
- Key Sectors, People and Place, and Infrastructure?
- If not, what themes would you include or remove, and why?
- Do you agree with the priority areas and associated actions in the strategy?
- If not, what priority areas / actions should be added or removed, and why?
What Happens Next
Comments received will be reviewed and taken into account when developing the final version. The final version will be presented to the Comhairle for approval in May 2025.
