Give your views on draft Corporate Plan
6 December 2023
We are inviting residents, organisations, and businesses to have their say on the Council's draft corporate plan.
The 4 year plan is the overarching document that sets the vision, values, priorities, and commitments of the district authority, from 2024.
Cllr Jill Cleary, Leader, said:
"Our corporate plan plays a principal role in the strategic framework for the council and is the overarching document that sets out our vision of a better future by supporting opportunities for the people and communities we serve, protecting our unique and special place, and securing a vibrant and prosperous New Forest.
"The plan focuses on the challenges we face, and the ambitions we have to respond to these challenges, structured around the themes of People, Place and Prosperity.
"The council has long recognised the strong heritage and a world-class environment we operate within, and work to protect and enhance. Tackling climate and environmental challenges is key to ensure that the special nature of the New Forest can be enjoyed by future generations.
"We also want to support the prosperity of our residents. We know there are investment opportunities to come, and it is important to me that our residents now and in the future can benefit from these opportunities.
"We will support our communities to feel safe and supported while being able to take every opportunity that comes the district's way.
"Together we will navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead, ensuring our district remains a wonderful place to live, work and thrive."
