This page contains information about our vision for Oadby and Wigston.
OUR VISION – 2006 to 2016
Our long term vision for Oadby and Wigston is:-
The Borough will be a place where people aspire to live because of its attractive and secure environment, its prosperous and vibrant economy and because of the peaceful and harmonious relationships between its residents.
In working to achieve this vision we will endeavour, by 2016, to make the Borough a place where:-
-
Our towns are adjacent to undeveloped green land and have parks and open spaces which are accessible, well maintained and well used.
-
Our people feel safe because we have reduced the level of crime, drug misuse and reduced the incidents of anti-social behaviour in our towns.
-
Our roads and streets are safe and clean.
-
We have reduced our impact on the local and global environment by reducing pollution and by actively encouraging the introduction of energy efficient measures in our homes.
-
Unemployment, poverty and deprivation is reduced throughout the Borough, and that local businesses grow and thrive.
-
There is better lifelong education and training for all ages so that people can achieve their full potential and aspirations.
-
We enjoy good health and well-being in all our neighbourhoods and communities and reduce health inequalities.
-
We all enjoy warm, safe and secure homes.
-
We have access to good shops and leisure facilities.
-
We celebrate our ethnic and cultural diversity, have good race relations and respect and maintain our heritage.
-
We are all connected to the whole of Great Britain by our high quality transport systems and by our electronic and business links.
-
Local people are active citizens and have a say in their future, so that we are sufficiently well informed to act as their agent and to achieve their priorities through the provision of inhouse services or through our partnerships.
-
The Council will reduce its impact on the global environment.
-
We will facilitate the provision of community facilities.
