Part 4 - THE FUTURE OF OUR ECONOMY

Big opportunities are coming to our region.

From major developments like Universal Studios to the growth and investment already happening across Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, the question isn't just what's coming next...

It's whether local people and local businesses are ready to be part of it.

In this clip, Dale Shaw, Hotel General Manager of Wyboston Lakes Resort, shares his perspective on preparing for the opportunities and challenges ahead.

Conversations like this matter.

Because if we don't understand what's changing around us, we risk missing out on opportunities that could benefit our businesses, our communities, and future generations.

That's exactly why we're continuing the conversation through Tables Across Town.

❤️ What do you love about St Neots?
🔧 What could be better?
🚀 What would make living here better?

🪑 Pull up a chair.
👂 Be a listener.
🏠 Host a table.

It should be shaped by us.

Part 2 - THE FUTURE OF OUR ECONOMY

The Big Listen may be over but the conversation is only just beginning.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing some of the most thought-provoking conversations from our contributors as we explore the future of St Neots through the eyes of business leaders, community champions, educators, employers, innovators, and residents.

This conversation focuses on an important question: What would make St Neots an even better place to live, work, invest, and grow?

As our town continues to evolve, there is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape what comes next.

But we don't want those conversations happening behind closed doors. We want them happening around tables. In workplaces. In cafés. In schools. In community groups. In homes.

That's why we're launching Tables Across Town.

Because the future of our economy shouldn't be shaped by a handful of voices. It should be shaped by all of us.
