Bassetlaw District Council has backed plans to refresh its Council Plan and overarching Vision 2040 to make sure it continues to remain relevant and ambitious.
At a Full Council meeting on Thursday 4th December 2025, councillors agreed to the proposals to keep it in step with changing priorities while continuing to deliver great services and create better outcomes for everyone.
The update to Vision 2040 will outline how the council will deliver bold, inclusive, and sustainable improvements for everyone in Bassetlaw.
Cllr Julie Leigh, Leader of Bassetlaw District Council said: “We’ve made great progress on Vision 2040 and are proposing to update our plan to build on this success and prepare for upcoming changes in local government, which will bring significant changes to how local services are delivered.
“Our update to Vision 2040 will be built around our clear mission to support people, neighbourhoods, and the economy through transformation, while laying the foundations for a clean, green, high-tech future. It also ensures that we remain financially resilient and ready for the transition to a new unitary council.”
Since the council approved the current Vision 2040 in March 2024 following public and stakeholder consultation, significant progress has been made in the actions set out in the current plan.
The updated version will evaluate these actions and reaffirm the councils Vision statement.
