West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) engaged with parish and town councils in an online session this morning, 6 February 2025, to gather feedback on the draft One West Northamptonshire Plan. The plan is envisioned as a collaborative roadmap to guide the area towards becoming the "beating heart of England" by 2030.
The consultation centres on several key priorities:
Inclusive Growth: Generating local jobs and encouraging local spending.
Collaboration: Enhancing cooperation between services and communities.
Prevention: Prioritising early intervention for issues such as adult and children's services.
Efficiency: Improving council operations through technology.
A copy of the slides presented by WNC Chief Executive, Anna Earnshaw, are below.
Parish and town councils are encouraged to respond to the consultation by midnight on 20 February 2025 to ensure their communities' priorities are reflected in the final One West Northamptonshire Plan. The council aims to launch the official strategy in the spring. See https://westnorthants.citizenspace.com/chief-executive/one-west-northamptonshire-plan/ for more details.
