Businesses and residents are being encouraged to have their say on a plan for the future of Stafford.
Stafford Borough Council has refreshed its four-year business plan and wants people across the community to give feedback on its vision, priorities and objectives.
The Corporate Plan focuses on growth, wellbeing, tackling climate change and managing resources as its priorities. People have until Friday, January 17, to give their feedback on the updated plan.
Council leader Aidan Godfrey said: “We are an ambitious council and this Corporate Plan sets out our priorities with the aim of growing the local economy by attracting further investment and supporting businesses. We have already taken some big decisions by using Government money to buy key buildings so that we can prepare the groundwork to attract investors and developers.
“We should be in no doubt that we cannot ignore the effects of climate change for the future of the planet and as a council we will do all we can from our own activities to reduce our carbon footprint. But we can’t do this alone – we need our local businesses and organisations to support moves to be more environmentally friendly.
“Please read the plan and then give us your views. This will let us know whether you think our priorities are the right ones to ensure our borough remains a great place to live, work, visit and invest in – and ensuring we are directing the council resources to those areas that most need it.”
Businesses and residents can take part in the consultation here.
