If you live in Derbyshire, you are encouraged to have your say on a new blueprint setting out how the council aims to improve life for local people.
Councillors have now approved a draft version of the Council Plan 2010-2014, which is now available for public comments.
Titled "Derbyshire – Leading The Way" the plan focuses on five key areas showing how council services will contribute to improving the quality of life for residents:
Since the last plan was published in 2005 the council has asked residents what they think about the authority and the services it provides. This feedback has been used to shape the 2010-2014 draft plan which outlines commitments for the future and areas for improvement.
Council Leader Councillor Andrew Lewer said: "This is an inspirational plan which sets out a positive, prosperous and bright future for Derbyshire and its residents.
"It provides a blueprint for what we will do over the next four years and how we aim to achieve improvements in the areas residents have told us are most important to them and which we feel are priorities.
"We now look forward to hearing comments from residents, businesses, other councils and partner organisations which will help us shape the final version of the plan to make sure we are working to make Derbyshire an even better place to live in, work and visit."
Following consultation with residents, other local councils and partnership organisations it is hoped the new council plan will be approved and published by the end of April. Deadline for comments is Tuesday 6 April 2010.
