District Plan 2011-2015
The District Plan has been adopted by the Council for the four year period 2011-15. This important document gives a clear direction and focus on where the Council's priorities lie and replaces the previous Corporate Plan 2008-11.
Looking beyond the difficult financial pressures that the Council currently faces, it is important that the Council is clear on its future direction, by putting the customer at the heart of our thinking, making improvements to services and making savings where we can.
The Plan identifies six priority themes for the Council, which are:
- Economic Development: Plan for a successful local economy with high levels of employment
- Efficiency and Taxation: Delivering excellent value and high performance
- Arts, Heritage and Leisure: Build an arts, leisure and culture reputation that also supports our economy
- Living, Working Communities: Working together to support the life of local communities
- Environment: A better environment for today and tomorrow
- Safer and Healthier: Improving health and well being
The vision for the Council communicated through the District Plan was developed through consultation with the local community. Parish and Neighbourhood Councils, including minority groups wherever possible, and residents and staff were also involved at an early stage in shaping the content of the District Plan. Data profiles for the Horsham District were used to underpin the Plan with an evidence base.
