The acknowledgement of the important of creating more skilled jobs and increasing the retention of young, educated residents is supported. The industrial and logistics sector provides a diverse range of jobs. St Modwen actively support initiatives to improve skills, training and employment opportunities. Indeed, St. Modwen Logistics is the latest partner to join the NSCG-led consortium of education providers and employers from across the Midlands to form the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Institute of Technology (IoT) development.
By allocating additional employment land the Council would support sustainable economic growth, facilitate access to training and employment opportunities, and deliver significant socio-economic benefits. This would in turn respond positively to the opportunities provided
within the district, notably the accessibility of the Strategic Road Network, which is extremely beneficial for Industrial and Logistics occupiers and logistics companies in particular.
