“This latest report paints a mixed picture for Sheffield. Whilst it performed well at the start of the year in terms of employment growth, with the first three months of 2021 expected to do well too, our Co2 per capita is disappointing. “There are plans to tackle pollution and as part of Sheffield’s Clean Air Strategy, Sheffield City Council is proposing to introduce a clean air zone within some areas of the city. This would mean that buses, taxis, vans and lorries that do not meet emissions standards will have to pay to drive in and around the zone. “The city is also set to see growth supported in the years to come by a £21m energy research centre built at the University of Sheffield. Not only will the centre provide a GVA and employment boost for the science and research sector, it will help put the city at the heart of supporting the UK’s transition to a net-zero carbon economy by 2050.”
“This report is very interesting and it is right to highlight the significant role that manufacturing plays in the wider UK economy. “I’m particularly interested in the main finding that the manufacturing sector is actually much larger than official statistics suggest. This is something that clearly should be considered carefully and be allowed to inform both the government’s future industrial strategy and Brexit negotiations.”
“This report paints a mixed picture for Sheffield but concludes that in order to encourage a pickup in GVA growth in the city, our transport infrastructure in the city and across the North needs to be improved. “Brexit has and will continue to take up a lot of Government time, but it is vital that the rebalancing the UK economy and building on the potential of the Northern Powerhouse is made a priority.”
“Our latest UK Powerhouse report reveals the huge positives that we have here in South Yorkshire. The Global Innovation Corridor will build on this and support our reputation as a hotbed for advanced manufacturing which I’m confident will help to attract further investment and interest from across the world.”
