The Big Conversation is about everyone living in Halton being a part of shaping what the future of the borough looks like. It’s about starting to talk about how, together, we can make Halton an even better place for people to live, work, visit and grow. It includes discussing what Halton Borough Council could do with the money that it has available, what we can do together as a community and what each of us may be able to do in our day to day lives, to make a difference.
The opinions and ideas gathered will be used to help shape the Council’s new Corporate Plan. This Corporate Plan is an important document because it will set out the details of what the Council will prioritise over the next five years to achieve the things we have agreed, from our Big Conversation, are important.
They've come up with five themes – these are based on what information they’ve gathered tells them are the most pressing issues and where making progress will bring the biggest benefits to local people.
- Tackling inequality, helping those who are most in need
- Building a strong, sustainable local economy
- Supporting children, young people and families
- Improving health, promoting wellbeing and supporting greater independence
- Working towards a greener future
But what do you think? Do these themes reflect the things that are important to you? They'd like to hear from you.
