Protecting our sense of community

To secure strong and safe communities we will continue to:

deliver a strong Local Plan which will identify where development will go for the next 15 years and encourage sustainable development with appropriate infrastructure .
oppose development that is not consistent with our Local Plan.
seek to maintain the viability of our community based shopping and employment areas and continue to support our community centres and libraries.
work with our local police to maintain good public order, reduce anti-social behaviour and combat drug related crime.
protect our highly valued green spaces and strategic green gaps to prevent places merging and losing their unique identities.
recognise the importance of our culture and arts facilities such as South Hill Park.
deliver housing services that focus on preventing homelessness.

We will continue to:

work with NHS partners and GPs to seek more or improved health facilities.
direct our housing strategy to explore ways for Downshire Homes Limited, (which is wholly owned by the Council and provides homeless accommodation), to increase the delivery of more affordable homes.
promote recycling and waste management and to seek new ways to enable you to recycle more.
bid for government money to support our road infrastructure, promote greater use of public transport, cycleways and improve parking.
support the cultural diversity of our communities that has led to 96% of residents saying we all get on well together. (Residents survey 2017).
invest in quality leisure facilities and seek to provide a new country park to help keep every one happy and healthy.
take into account the effects of climate change, the use of plastics and the need for more sustainable forms of energy.
