FLITWICK TOWN COUNCIL STRATEGY 2021-2025
The Flitwick Town Council Strategy 2021-2025 was adopted in June 2021. The strategy sets out a new 'Vision' and 'Mission' and includes a more focussed view of the Council's updated priorities to 2025.
A public consultation on the draft strategy was launched at the Annual Town Meeting on 6th May 2021 to enable the Council to understand residents' strength of feeling about the new 'Vision' for the Town and the main themes that would be the focus of the Council's activities.
Residents were invited to share their views on the draft strategy via an online or paper copy survey.
The public consultation ended on 4th June 2021 and feedback was used to inform the Council's adoption of a final strategy document at the Town Council meeting on 28th June 2021.
