The borough is a major UK coastal resort, catering for 5.6 million day trips and 4.1 million staying nights each year, with visitors bringing more than £591 million into the local economy annually. It has also been England’s offshore energy sector capital since 1965, with an outer harbour, enterprise zone, skilled workforce, sizeable supply chain, and prospects of sharing in significant future investment in offshore windfarms and gas platform decommissioning. The council’s six main priorities are: • Economic growth • Housing • Neighbourhoods, communities and the environment • Tourism, culture and heritage • Great Yarmouth town centre • Transport and infrastructure Our ambition is for Great Yarmouth to be a fast-growing coastal “Enterprise Town”. Efforts will be focused on creating the conditions to ensure the borough and its residents are best placed to benefit from new jobs and investment, including from the next generation of offshore energy developments. The community of Great Yarmouth has been self-governing since the Charter of King John in 1209. The Council in its current form came into existence in 1974.
