Purbeck District Council launches its new 5-year vision for the
district
Purbeck District Council
has launched its new Corporate Strategy for 2009-2014, which
updates the Council’s previous Strategy and sets out its corporate
priorities for delivering its vision for the district.
From housing to improving
the local economy, the Corporate Strategy explores the current and
future issues the district faces and sets out six priorities to
address issues that matter most to local people.
Leader of Purbeck
District Council, Councillor Gary Suttle, said: 'Our vision
for Purbeck is ‘thriving communities in balance with the natural
environment’. Through consultation, we have identified many
changes that local people want to see over the next five years,
such as more affordable houses for local people, community safety
and local prosperity. The strategy contains six corporate
priorities to address the issues that matter most to the
district.
“The strategy links the
work of the District Council with the priorities of other
organisations in the county, through the Dorset Strategic
Partnership and the Community Plan for Purbeck, which will see
joint initiatives and close working to make positive changes for
everyone.”

Dorset
Strategic
Partnership - The Dorset Strategic Partnership
(DSP) was formally set up in 2002. It consists of a wide range of
public, private, business, voluntary and community sectors who work
together and support each other for the benefit of local
people. For more information about the Dorset Strategic
Partnership, visit: dorsetforyou.com
The Community
Plan for Purbeck - The Local Government Act of 2000 places
a duty on local authorities to prepare ‘Community Strategies’, or
plans, for promoting or improving the economic, social and
environmental well being of their areas.
The Community Plan for Purbeck is a reflection of what
residents have told the council through consultation and is a
living document that is both proactive and reactive to the changing
priorities of its residents.
