Help us plan for Fareham's future

Fareham Borough Council is consulting on its draft Corporate Strategy.  This important document sets the Council's agenda for the coming years up to 2023, and we need your help to make sure it's heading in the right direction.  Please ensure you have your say before 16 October 2017.

Following consultation with residents, six main priorities for the next five years have been agreed:

• providing housing choices
• protect and enhance the environment
• strong, safe, inclusive and healthy communities
• maintain and extend prosperity
• leisure opportunities for health and fun
• dynamic, prudent and progressive council

Within each priority there are a number of actions that need to be addressed.  These include but are not limited to:

• the preparation of a new local plan
• coastal defence schemes
• the delivery of Welborne Garden Village
• an extension of the successful Innovation Centre at Daedalus

We would like to know which priority is the most important to you.  You can also tell us if you think we've missed something important.

The consultation period will run until 16 October 2017.  Visit www.fareham.gov.uk/corporatestrategy for more details and your chance to win a £100 voucher for taking part in the consultation.  You can also attend one of the following engagement events:
