Residents of Bradley Stoke are being asked for comments on the town council’s draft strategy for 2009-2014.

The document is currently being delivered to all homes in the town and sets out the authority’s objectives for the coming five years.

Among the pledges is a commitment to improve CCTV coverage at the town’s three activity centres.

They will be “reviewed and enhanced as required” under the plan drawn up by local councillors.

The council also wants to hear views on how it contributes towards a dedicated police officer for the town.

Other areas the strategy covers include:

• Increased profile for the town through use of public relations
• Ensuring youth facilities are maintained and improved
• Taking part in the Quality Status scheme for employees and councillors
• More partnerships with businesses, residents’ associations and voluntary bodies
• Seeking space for allotments either in Bradley Stoke or outside the town

Bradley Stoke Mayor, Mark Forsyth, said: “Your views are very much appreciated and we look forward to receiving them.”

The closing date for comments is 30 October 2009 – views can be sent to forwardplan@bradleystoke.gov.uk
