Mid Cheshire is economically the weakest performing part of the sub region with far fewer (and lower paying) jobs than local residents available to fill them.

Sustainable economic growth has until now been constrained by ongoing physical and social regeneration needs in places like Northwich and Winsford and by underperforming market towns. Based on opportunities created from mine stabilisation in Northwich, revitalised investment interest in Middlewich and other centres, and from new visitor economy opportunities arising from emerging Regional Park plans, the Action Plan includes an ambitious packages of measures. The ambition is to recreate in the Weaver Valley the economic success enjoyed in Chester, Warrington and Crewe.

As the rural heartland of Cheshire, rural regeneration is a strong focus of the activity, led by a new, co-ordinated approach to regenerating market towns.
