Chester's economic success is already spreading across a wider area including Ellesmere Port, Wirral and North Wales. The Action Plan includes measures to create new investment sites in Ellesmere Port and Neston to improve employability and access to jobs across this wider ‘city region' area.

There are a number of projects in the Action Plan to improve the visitor economy and attractiveness of Chester as a business location:

Chester Renaissance

Chester SuperZoo

Chester Rail Gateway

Mersey Dee Alliance/BESS
