Our Vision for 2026

Vision 2026 sets out our longer term ambitions for the Borough.  The initial document was published in 2006 and has now been 'refreshed' to take on board changes suggested through an extensive consultation process during 2008.

The key themes and ambitions of the refreshed Vision are:

• A Modern City - a vibrant Town Centre, with substantial new housing, and improved accessibility.
  
• An Enterprising & Innovative Community - a strong, diverse and low carbon local economy, based on strong business networks.
  
• A Strong & Inclusive Community - regenerated Borough Towns and former New Town estates, a thriving rural area and strong voluntary and community sector.
  
• A Learning Community - integrated learning provision providing vocational and academic skills.
  
• A Sustainable Green Community - a zero waste community, more sustainable forms of energy supply and green businesses.
  
• A Safe, Caring & Healthy Community - a place where people feel safe and secure, and health inequalities are reduced.

These are underpinned by two cross cutting themes:

• Transforming the Borough - creating an area with a strong and well-defined positive image and sense of place.
  
• Narrowing the Gap - raising expectations and life chances within the Borough's more deprived communities.

Vision 2026 is ambitious, aspirational and is fully endorced by the Telford & Wrekin Partnership
