The Borderlands Partnership was established in 2018 to unlock the potential for sustainable and inclusive economic growth across the South of Scotland and North of England.

It has changed the site development strategy from zone led to United Kingdom and Scottish Government backed Green Book Business Case approach with a full site vision for the short term (to 2035) medium term (to 2050)  and longer term (beyond 2050). 

The CX programme is one of ten initiatives supported from the Scottish Government the United Kingdom Government over a 10-15 year period with circa £400m funding 

The CX Programme Mandate and Council Report captured the lessons learned from the “cold eyes review” and secured approval from the Full Council in September 2019. 

The ”review” identified the need for a step change in approach to create the right environment for success over the short, medium and longer term.

Regional - The Borderlands Partnership sets out the shared desire to play a full part in the Scottish and wider UK economy,through the development of five ‘Strategic Growth Corridors’shown above. Chapelcross forms an important part of the South West Scotland and Northern Ireland Corridor as a result of its strong transport links. Unlocking sites of major economic activity such as Chapelcross has the potential to ‘transmit’ economic activity and inclusive growth outwards through these Strategic Growth Corridors and beyond

International - The M6/M74 corridor forms part of the TEN-T –Core Network of Transport Corridors
