Resilience Indicators
From the research that led to this Plan, we have identified a number of key indicators by which we can be sure that we are moving in the right direction. These include;
- The percentage of economic leakage out of the community
- The percentage the local community spend on locally procured business, goods and services.
- Percentage of major employers in the community that are locally owned
- Niche markets (in which unique opportunities exist) have been identified in the community that take advantage of community strengths.
- The relative value by percentage of community owned major assets for the economic and social benefit of the community.
- The number of Totnes Pounds in circulation.
- Degree to which people perceive an openness to alternative forms of earning a living
These can be returned to regularly to see if the community is making progress in the right direction.
