February 2017 Update

The Surrey Heath Sustainable Community Strategy

The Sustainable Community Strategy vision for our area is:

  • To sustain and constantly improve Surrey Heath as a desirable place to live, learn, work and play; and,
  • To support individuals to achieve their full potential as a part of the local community.

Our objectives support our vision and are borne out of our consultation with the local community. They encapsulate the things the people of Surrey Heath told us were important to them and which we will work towards. They are:

  • To live in attractive towns and villages;
  • To feel safe in our homes and on our streets;
  • To have a range of diverse leisure facilities and good access to well-maintained open spaces;
  • To have good public transport systems available;
  • To have safe facilities for young people;
  • Opportunities for promoting and encouraging good health and an active lifestyle;
  • Good quality accessible learning for all ages;
  • Improved traffic flow;
  • To have safe provision for older people;
  • Good recycling opportunities in the area;
  • Affordable housing built to enhance not crowd communities; and
  • Businesses supported in the area and demonstrating their corporate social responsibilities.

The following action plans set out the targets we will deliver to help achieve these objectives.
