WNC Consultation: One West Northamptonshire Plan

West Northants Council are seeking your views and support as work gets under way on creating a new partnership vision for our area – The One West Northamptonshire Plan.
All partners have both the desire and drive to work more closely together in achieving our combined ambitions for the communities we serve, and we are keen to encourage, harness, and channel closer strategic working with a single, shared plan for the next five years.
The draft One West Northamptonshire Plan proposes a single medium-term roadmap and ambitions for us to achieve by 2030. This will be a shared plan, with everyone having an important part to play in addressing the challenges and harnessing the opportunities to create one West Northamptonshire for everyone. To truly make a place thrive takes joint working and collaboration at all levels and it's important we share a common view on the priorities and ways we will achieve our aims.
By beginning to pull together the threads of the established key plans and strategies created and co-designed with our partners, we created an initial draft of the Plan, but need your input and involvement in order to shape it further and get that consensus.
As we move forward, your involvement is critical. Today we are launching the consultation and engagement phase for the draft One West Northamptonshire Plan, which will be running for six weeks until 20 February.
This is an important opportunity for all partners, residents, groups, businesses and organisations to feed into the draft plan to help shape the final version.
We want to ensure that the consultation on the draft plan reflects the diverse voices and needs of our communities, and we would greatly value your help in achieving this.
