Recession Support
 
Dudley MBC has put together a 10 point action plan on how to tackle the recession, Please see 10 point action plan below.
 
  • Council invoices from local businesses to be paid within 10 days as opposed to the current 28 days.
  • Working with local businesses to develop an employment plan to ensure contractors in the borough take advantage of public sector contracts on offer to them
  • Rent freeze approved on industrial units at Lye Business Centre for this financial year. This will help lighten the burden of the economic downturn, and help businesses remain competitive following the recent rises in energy costs, raw material, water charges and business rates.
  • Roadshows to be held in town centres and industrial estates across the borough to offer support and advice to individuals and businesses.
  • Launch of ‘Dudley means business’ web pages from links below to signpost individuals and businesses for support.
  • In partnership with Prince’s Trust, a series of new two day workshops will be held throughout the year for people looking to start their own business. The workshops will be for people aged between 18 and 30 who may need financial help in order to set up their business.  Loans ranging from £500 to £4000 are available.
  • Encourage council tax and housing benefit take-up for borough residents.
  • Promote support on offer from Castle and Crystal Credit Union to discourage people from resorting to loan sharks.
  • Dudley Council has signed up to a Local Employment Partnership (LEP) with Job Centre Plus to secure employment opportunities for local people.
  • Support and promote work of New Heritage Regeneration Ltd, an arms length company, launched to deliver borough regeneration projects that will create jobs for local people.
