The key areas will be around the proposed sites for new homes - the mast site and the fields south of the M6.

The former mast site is expected to create 2,800 jobs, while developers hope to bring a further 1,800 jobs to the area near Coton Meadows.

The majority of the jobs are hoped to be manufacturing based.

It is hoped that the forthcoming £35m college in Leicester Road and power academy, which will help develop new green energy sources, will act as a springboard for more specialist manufacturers to move to Rugby. Many jobs will be in the logistics industry.

Cllr. Neil Campbell, Cabinet Member for Economy, Development and Culture, said: "We have aspirations of increasing quality employment."
