Our tourist based jobs for many are year round but we over rely on these.
How about a business park on the outskirts or working with neighbouring local authorities to provide locally ?

Crawley has a most impressive array of major companies, creating jobs and wealth in the area. Yes, it has a bad reputation but to be honest after living in Brighton for nearly 10 years I'd choose (in fact, I'm just buying in the Worth area) Crawley over Brighton any day!
Brighton is a terrible, dirty, failing city.
