New Council Strategy for Winchester
Winchester City Council launches a new version of its overall plan - the Council Strategy - at Cabinet on Wednesday 7 December.
The draft strategy covers the period 2017-20 and prioritises five new outcomes for the district: improving housing options, the environment, and the health and happiness of residents together with support for business and becoming a more entrepreneurial council.
The refreshed strategy is launched against a backdrop of major financial challenges and changing Government policies that impact on the Council’s work as well as a desire to protect the public purse and focus on the district as a whole.
A consultation on the strategy will be available on the Council’s website where residents, businesses and interested groups and organisations can make comments.

Cllr Stephen Godfrey, the Leader of Winchester City Council, said:
We know that we have to replace lost funding sources through new ways of working, but at the same time continue to deliver high quality services to our residents and local businesses.
This strategy seeks to improve the services we offer as well as include some innovative new ways of working and our offer to residents.
The report about the draft Strategy is available on the Council’s website:
