We have launched a major consultation on a new draft strategy setting out how we plan to improve service provision across a range of public services. 

Entitled Cleaner, Safer, Greener the strategy covers the areas of litter, fly-tipping, street cleansing, graffiti, anti-social behaviour, community policing, parks, open spaces and development planning. It describes how we, together with our various partners such as the police and parish and town councils can work together towards an holistic approach to improving our communities and environment.
