The councils of Basildon, Brentwood, Castle Point, Rochford, Southend-on-Sea, Thurrock and Essex County have formed South Essex Councils (SEC). Through SEC they are working to deliver improved prosperity and wellbeing in the region by: • tackling problems that members councils can't solve individually. • creating collective scale and impact • providing the place leadership to promote South Essex. Each partner council contributes resources to the SEC programmes and together they work to win new investment for the region from central government, the private sector and public partners. This is a focused, time-limited consultancy commission, with the brief to develop a South Essex Economic Growth Action Plan, through which success is defined (in consultation with key local authority leaders and business community) and measurable, to ensure collectively increased, well-targeted investments in defined projects. To include a 15+ year horizon, single economic rationale for the south Essex region (accounting for distinctions/opportunities for business and residents in Greater Essex), setting outcomes for place and people, and answer the question of 'what should we (South Essex Councils) do together to boost growth and productivity and achieve South Essex' full economic potential?' In plain English, this is about creating jobs and creating better jobs to increase wealth.
