Fareham Borough Council's Corporate Strategy 2011 - 2017

Fareham Borough Council has approved its new Corporate Strategy setting out the Council's vision and strategic priorities for the next 6 years.

Executive Leader of Fareham Borough Council, Councillor Seán Woodward, said: "We are encouraged that residents are pleased with the way the Council runs things and that it provides good value for money. At a time when resources are scarce, we will continue to focus on the most important issues that the Council need to address over the next six years, to ensure Fareham remains an attractive and prosperous place to live, work and visit."
