Corporate Plan

Improving people's health, wellbeing and sense of community.

During the public engagement for the plan many highlighted the importance of reducing anti-social behaviour, providing leisure facilities, public transport and walking and cycling routes.

Many said they felt lonely and isolated so reducing this isolation is a priority.
