Still time to comment on council's future blueprint

Denbighshire County Council is developing a new Corporate Plan for 2012-17.

This plan will define our priorities and the outcomes we aim to deliver for our communities. 

During the past year, the council has undertaken a considerable amount of consultation and engagement with residents, its staff, and elected members.

This helped to identify priorities for the new Corporate Plan. 

The council's engagement work has included the following:

· A Residents’ Survey: 2,256 households responded to a survey which included questions about the biggest issues facing our communities.

· A Public Survey: 1,228 people responded to a survey on the council's website and in its leisure centres, libraries, One-Stop-Shops and council reception areas.

· Workshops with young people: run with the Denbighshire Youth Council and Student Councils in high schools.

Draft priorities have been developed to reflect the public's views, and the council would now like to know what you think before it finalises and publishes its new Corporate Plan.

The council's proposed priorities:

1. Developing the local economy and communities

2. Improving school buildings and standards for all

3. Improving roads

4. Protecting vulnerable people and ensuring they are able to live as independently as possible

5. Providing a clean environment

6. Ensuring access to good quality housing

7. Modernising the council to deliver efficiencies and improve services for its customers.

Consultation is open until Tuesday 11th September.

Further information is also available online at
www.denbighshire.gov.uk/corporateplan.

The final draft of our Corporate Plan will be presented to councillors on Tuesday 9th October for agreement.
