The Housing shortage for local youngsters is a very important issue and finding ways to address that by encouraging affordable and rented development in the area is key.
Climate change and the Environment are also pressing issues; tackling plastic usage, packaging and improving general waste management. By encouraging biodiversity, we can ensure the protection of our distinctive flora and fauna in this district.
In addition, investigating ways of creating energy such as using solar energy fields or Ground source thermal heating as alternatives to fossil fuels.
Finally to honour and celebrate our historical heritage and values.
