Our vision

Lancashire 2050 is about bringing people together with a shared vision, shared ambition, shared goals and shared priorities.

It’s about the future of our county and its people. Initiated by Lancashire's 15 councils, but involving everyone with a stake in our county's success, it sets out the areas where we can work together to help our county thrive.

It is both bold and strategic, creating a framework so that:

• Lancashire competes better for its share of national resources and investment
• Lancashire's public, private and voluntary sectors collaborate better to maximise the best use of our resources
• Lancashire has a strong and clear voice that responds innovatively to new opportunities and challenges
• Lancashire has rich, meaningful and strategic dialogue with central government about the future of our county
