What's in the plan?
Our Corporate Plan has four focus areas:
- People: health, skill, and opportunity: We will promote health, well-being and inclusion, ensuring that all residents have access to the skills, support and opportunities they need to thrive.
- Planet: climate emergency and protecting our environment: We will lead on looking after nature, cut carbon emissions and act on climate change to keep Hart green and healthy for the future.
- Place: infrastructure‑led growth and the Local Plan: We will bring forward a new Local Plan that will seek to deliver the new homes required by the government, and shape vibrant, sustainable communities through investment in affordable housing, infrastructure and local economic development, to places where people want to live, work, and visit.
- Prepare for the North Hampshire Authority: Make services transfer‑ready, protect residents’ and businesses’ experience and make sure we leave a legacy to ensure there is strong continuity and benefits that endure beyond the new authority's vesting day on 1 April 2028.
