The vision states that the district will have a diverse and thriving economy. However the plans for employment are mainly about renewing and increasing warehouse land and creating over 10,000 new jobs in this sector. Jobs in the warehouse/distribution sector are clustered around low/unskilled jobs. These jobs will mainly be filled by people commuting in who do not spend their money or pay taxes locally. It is difficult to see therefore how the proposals for employment align with the vision for the future of employment in the district.
