Corporate Plan 2012 -2015

Bassetlaw is rich in diversity, through its people and places. We have outstanding scenery and open spaces which residents throughout the District can enjoy the benefit of. We have an established industrial base, with manufacturing industries and others seeking to relocate here. Many residents choose to work directly in Bassetlaw whilst others commute to nearby towns and cities on a daily basis. All of this contributes to the fabric of Bassetlaw.

The aim of this Corporate Plan in the immediate and long term future is to establish a community where everyone benefits, where we can all live, work and prosper with confidence.

Our ambitions are:

Economic Regeneration of Our District

The economic regeneration of our district, so that Bassetlaw’s economy supports enterprise, business and jobs is crucial if we are to move forward over the next three years.

Quality Housing and Local Environment

Bassetlaw District Council is committed to improving housing standards and choice regardless of tenure across the District.

Over the next three years we will be working with partners, including A1 Housing Bassetlaw Ltd, to make sure that the supply, quality and affordability of local homes meets those needs.

Involved Communities and Locality Working

Strong and cohesive communities give us a sense of well-being and belonging. By encouraging and supporting local communities to become involved with the Council we will be better placed to deal with local challenges and the changing circumstances of our area.

A Well Run Council

We have in place proper controls to ensure that high standards of behaviour are observed by officers and Members and that our decision making is robust and follows a clear process.

We manage the finances of the Council carefully and are responding to the challenges caused by the reduction in Central Government funding.
