Expert panel drive new council economic model
The council recently launched its Community Wealth Building (CWB) strategy which sets out how the council and other ‘anchor’ organisations – including NHS Ayrshire & Arran, Ayrshire College and wider partners – will work in partnership with communities and businesses to build a strong economy which supports fair work, encourages local spend and uses land and property for the common good.
Joining Sarah on the panel are: Miriam Brett (Common Wealth think tank), Joe Guinan, (The Democracy Collaborative), Laurie Macfarlane (openDemocracy), Ian Mitchell (Community Enterprise in Scotland), Jess Thomas (Co-operatives UK), Roz Foyer (Scottish Trade Union Council), Sarah McKinley (Democracy Collaborative) and Neil McInroy, (Centre for Local Economic Strategies).
