BUSINESSES will receive a helping hand after a district council launched its innovation scheme.

Vale of White Horse District Council’s action plan is for a small team known as Vale4Buisness to support small and medium enterprises in four key areas of growth: business support, skills and labour force, infrastructure planning and business space.

They will help businesses to attract and retain skilled staff.

Vale4Buisness is also lobbying to improve access to superfast broadband coverage and help give information on locations that are available for businesses to relocate to.
