I am not sure that the economic summary is properly representative of the employment situation of the County or an adequate baseline. Employment figures by the minerals industry (site and HGV drivers) need to be given. As 70 percent of land is being farmed I would expect to see agricultural employment figures as well as some data on the largest sectors as context. Important regional differences within Nottinghamshire should be mentioned. Employment levels should include some reference to youth employment levels. The baseline in the scoping report should be more in depth.
