Pride of Place
Pride of Place is about sustainability and place shaping
Pride of Place means making Wealden a place where services are delivered well, satisfying the needs and aspirations of local communities. As a result, people express higher levels of satisfaction, take an active interest in shaping their communities and take pride in maintaining and enhancing their environments for future generations.
Pride of Place also promotes strong community leadership. There are areas in the District, particularly public spaces such as shopping centres and estates, where people can feel unsafe and vulnerable. We need to make these places somewhere that people can enjoy and feel safe in
Our residents feel strongly about pressures for new development and they are very concerned about the ability of the local infrastructure to cope. We need to draw on their comments and those of our partners serving the District to help us achieve the best design in keeping with our sustainability policies, creating a place that future generations will thank us, rather than blame us, for.
Our priorities underpinning Pride of Place are:- Sustainability
- Place Shaping
Please take a look at our Corporate Plan to learn more about these priorities.
