Working with you, for you

Hertsmere has set out its vision for the next five years in how it will continue to deliver quality services to its residents.

The Corporate Plan 2009-2013 sets out the vision and key priorities for the council in the coming years.

Cllr Morris Bright, Leader of the Council, explained: "The council’s community leadership role is focused on improving the quality of life for everyone in the borough, working with our public, private, voluntary and community sector partners.

“Our Corporate Plan details the council’s vision, values, and corporate priorities and has been developed with input from our residents and community groups. We will strive for excellence in meeting the commitments we have detailed by working with, and for, our communities."

The council’s vision is: ‘Working with you, for you, improving our communities, our places’ and this will be delivered by focusing on five priority areas:

• Safer communities: Contribute to reducing crime levels, combat anti-social behaviour and improve people’s feelings of safety.
• Quality environments: Protect and enhance both the natural and the built environments to ensure clean, green and sustainable places for our residents.
• Healthy, thriving communities: Improve the health and wellbeing of our communities through the promotion of healthy living initiatives and leisure, sport, and cultural opportunities for everyone.
• Economic wellbeing: Encourage and support activities and opportunities that strengthen the local economy and deliver economic well-being to our communities.
• Decent homes: Improve the quality of housing, promote a balanced housing market, and tackle homelessness.
