Download our new Winchester District Quarterly Intelligence Economic Dashboard to the right hand side of this page.  The dashboard includes information on:

• business activity
• jobs and earnings
• spending and sentiment
• local business intelligence and
• public policy news.

Access to high quality digital services plays a growing and critical role in the economic health and resilience of the District. Following the COVID-19 pandemic the ability to embrace digital technology has became even more vital. With this in mind Winchester City Council was keen to understand the changing digital needs of residents, employers, innovators and investors. 

This was achieved by exploring:

• What a digital Winchester meant for the different communities of Winchester district, including residents, businesses and community groups, organisations, students
• The benefits of 5G to the city and district and
• The experience of digital connectivity during COVID-19.

The council invited businesses and residents to take part in this work and there were a number of different ways that they got involved, including a call for evidence, online survey and online debate panel. Further information can be downloaded on the right hand side. 

The debate was held online. Watch the digital debate here.
