1. Helping those in our community with the greatest need

We will

Provide more quality, temporary accommodation for single people and families and work with our partners to tackle homelessness.

Ensure our strategies, policies and working practices support necessary adaptations and other support that enables people to stay in their homes and to live independently.

Support community engagement, working with partners and our town and parish councils to help resolve local issues, including those associated with the cost of living, homelessness and community, health, safety and resilience.
