Our four priority commitments

What’s important to you is important to us.

Our number one priority is to ensure that we can continue to provide high-quality services to the people of Hampshire. In delivering those services, we will be inclusive, be there for those who most need our support, and speak up for all our residents.

We have four important commitments for the County Council which will shape what we spend our time on. These will be delivered through strategies such as the Local Transport Plan, Public Health Strategy, Local Nature Recovery Strategy, Adult's Health and Care Strategy, and associated work programmes.

We will measure our success against these commitments through our Performance Assurance Framework.

Giving your communities the best chance to thrive

We will:

• support opportunities for Hampshire to prosper
• ensure we have the right infrastructure in place to support local businesses and communities - these are the things that underpin our everyday lives
